Three success stories from members of the Brick Lane critique groups, which meets Tuesdays and Wednesdays:

Charlotte Kymberly Walsh, she of the hectic lifestyle, has gotten her debut novel snapped up by a Penguin imprint before even having written it. The novel will be called Faking It. Its protagonist is the ex who gets left behind but then takes control when her partner runs off with someone more limelit. Press release here.

Veteran member Shuab Parvez has recently released his novel Messiah of Green Street to the Harper Collins-run sharing/ranking site authonomy where the book was, at time of writing, at number 2.

Karen Andrea’s childrens’ fiction The Enchanted Library is featuring in readings at Borders and Waterstones up and down the country, and garnering rave reviews for its positive social ideas as well as its pro-literacy message and endearing protagonist.

Congratulations, all.
