Now, let’s lift the curtain into Joffe Books back-room gang and hear from the newbie – Jasmine Callaghan who, amongst other things, writes the blurb for Joffe’s books. This, my friends, is a tricky job as I have found when my publishers once upon a time asked me to try my hand at blurbs for my own books. Disaster! So I was pretty smartly relieved of the task.
WHAT I DO
Joining at the very beginning of 2023, I’m the newest proud member of the Joffe Books team. In a nutshell, I project manage some of our incredible titles (both new and from our backlist) and have the exciting job of writing our blurbs and briefing our amazing catalogue of talented cover designers.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR
I can’t wait to publish lots of brilliant books! I’m privileged to be working alongside an incredibly talented bunch who I have lots to learn from. I’m also excited to make my own mark on Joffe Books, especially regarding diversity in the industry.
FAVOURITE BOOKS
I love the Gothic, so naturally I’m a huge fan of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Fun fact: German soldiers used the book as a code to send secret messages during WW2. I also regularly find myself re-reading His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, The Stranger by Albert Camus and The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji. I’ll stop now because I could go on forever.
