Toby Farrier, the Pitch

Terry has been working on a pitch for my story, I dont know why he doesn't get on and send it to a publisher. All my friends say it's a bloody good read. C'mon Boss, get it out there. Send it to a publisher today.


Set in 2014, Toby Farrier’s story, begins with an antique desk. Locked and lost since 1929, it resurfaces as a reward, for promising writer, Toby.

At first the desk refuses to give up its secrets, but Toby perseveres. A journal, a box of letters and notes written in code, puts Toby and his friends in danger Mad Professor, Phillip Ryan, is sure this is his great grandfather’s desk and it holds a clue to his family’s missing fortune. Ryan has hunted for this desk for decades.

Adventure packed, Toby Farrier, is laced with acts of renewal, trust, yearning, lost relationships. Toby learns about first love and the value you find in mateship. From a dying man he learns to understand, stoicism, faith, truth and humility.

Hard to put down, this teenage story appeals to a wide readership. Teenage readers who like Skulduggery Pleasant, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, will love Toby Farrier. Grandparents will fall in love with Arthur and his mate Charlie. Everyone in between, will fall in or out of love with Tracy, Toby’s evil stepmother.

A modern day, Famous Five or Secret Seven story, Toby Farrier is a heart warming yarn for everyone.

  1. I'm interested in everyone's opinion about book lenght. Toby Farrier is about the same length as a modern romance novel, or work of fiction. At around 300 pages, is it too long to pitch to publishers who are looking at getting books onto school reading lists.
