I represent an eclectic and talented list of authors, varying from on-topic commercial women's fiction to beautifully lyrical literary fiction. I represent a

very wide-spread range of genres; from love stories, to books about magic and witches, to crime and thrillers, as well as historical fiction. I look after a

number of successful authors whom I have nursed through from their debut novels, several through to the Sunday Times bestseller list and Richard &

Judy book club picks as well as various prize lists. I am very proud to represent several Curtis Brown Creative alumni, such as Kate Hamer, Wendy

Joseph KC, Rachel Marks, Fran Quinn, Anna Bailey, Alex Hay and Catherine Bennetto. An especial highlight was being the first to discover Jane Harper

through Curtis Brown Creative, and representing her first four books in the UK. It is a privilege to work with authors from the earliest of days. One of

the very best things about my job is editing with authors to get their book from a great place to something superstar – I take real pride in working

hand in hand with authors.

I also love to take on authors with well-established careers who may feel in need of a fresh pair of eyes. Working with authors to revitalise their career

is immensely satisfying, and great fun too.
