The Key to a Wonderful Week
It all sounds just fabulous - right?
But it wouldn’t have happened without
a) the generosity of the entire Faber family (especially managing director Stephen Page and my editor, Julia Wells) and …
b) Helena Zedig
Helena is publicity manager at Faber. I’m sure both she and I were hoping for the best when we began this journey, because Helena was the person we spent the most time with - a total stranger who was taking us to Bath and spending the whole weekend with us … taking us to St. Albans as well … and getting me to the Guardian and back. She was the key. And it worked so well.
I can’t speak for Helena but I can speak for Frank and me - she was fabulous. We were well taken care of every step of the way but even better, we enjoyed her company thoroughly. She’s a woman of many interests and facets.
So this is my thank you to Helena, who along with Rebecca and Emily, got us in and out of cars, in and out of trains, made sure we ate and slept and had the right equipment every step of the way.
Why am I sooooo appreciative? Because I was a publicist once myself.
Jolly good show!
