Twenty Major gets two-book deal
Big news - and tomorrow you’ll probably read all about it, but let me be the first to tell you that multiple Blog Award winner and all-round cheeky pup, Twenty Major has gone and landed himself a two-book deal with Hodder Headline.
Well done Sir.
So many questions though - does this mean there’ll be two less chick lit books on the shelves? Will it be out in time to be a Christmas stocking filler? Will that creepy Chinese guy be the cover pic on the dust jacket? Will Bastardface and Throatripper make an appearance in those hallowed pages?

Nice one! I could see this happening, glad to see it has. Well deserved.

Is that really true? He doesn’t mention it on his blog there….modest, or is this another wind up? Like that time you all pretended he came along to a drinks night in town?
If it’s true, well bloody done Twenty!!!! Can’t wait to read them!

Sign me up for a review copy.
I wonder how far up on the top shelf the titles will sit.
Or whether the slip covers include a parental advisory warning.

Hey maybe Twenty is going to write the Uber Chick Lit novel!
March 22nd, 2007 at 8:12 am
Holy crap, congratulations Twentina!

Press release from Roddy Doyle: “Oh shit.”
March 22nd, 2007 at 8:47 am
Sexcellent! If not entirely surprising…

Twenty will do the first Chick Lit / True Crime cross over.
“Celia longed for some excitement in her life, however she didn’t expect that it would all begin when she dropped and broke her Damien Rice CD on O’Connell Street…”

Amazed it took this long. Congrats to Twenty, the poster boy for Irish blogging. God help us all.

I foresee a new genre - ‘cocklit’
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:57 pm

Wrong C-word don’t ya think Kirstie?
Excellent news!

March 22nd, 2007 at 4:50 pm
Eolai - haha, well yes, in his case! But as he is a man, I thought he could spawn a whole new genre - instead of chick lit sex and shopping bukes, he can write cocklit sex and swearing novels. I will be seriously disappointed if the final result deviates from this.

[…] twenty strikes a deal The rumours that Twenty Major had scored a two-book deal with Hodder Headline as started by Sinéad Gleeson on Wednesday night were today confirmed by the man himself in a post entitled “So, this whole book thing“. As if two-time ‘Best Blog’ winner isn’t enough. […]
March 23rd, 2007 at 10:24 pm
I’m guessing the books will come with a public health warning?
