The Savages (28 page)
Finally, I should like to thank my publishers for this opportunity to bring you
The Savages.
Hot Key Books are new kids on the block, but quickly becoming the coolest. I've worked elsewhere with my editor, Emily Thomas, but she really wasn't expecting this. Even so, she showed great resolve when I first pitched it, and her enthusiasm for the story has been second to none. It's been great fun working with the whole team, and my wholehearted thanks go out to Sarah Odedina, Georgia Murray, Megan Farr, Kate Manning, Becca Langton, Naomi Colthurst, Jet Purdie, Sara O'Connor, Amy Orringer, Sarah Benton, Cait Davies, Olivia Mead, Ruth Logan, Jan Bielecki, Tristan Hanks and Dominic Saraceno.
Matt Whyman has written widely for adults and teenagers, across a range of subjects, including two recent comic memoirs,
My Life with Minipigs
and
Walking with Sausage Dogs
. He is married with four children and lives in West Sussex, UK.
