Jonathan Pegg Literary Agency

About this Agency

I began my career as a publicist for books, before moving to Curtis Brown where I was a foreign rights executive, then an agent’s assistant, and eventually a senior agent. During five years in the latter role I represented a broad range of fiction and non-fiction writers, including (to name a few who aren’t otherwise featured on this website): Brian Aldiss, Nina Bawden, The Estate of Malcolm Bradbury, Frederick Forsyth, David Lodge, David Mitchell, Philip Ziegler and Gore Vidal. After twelve years at Curtis Brown in all, I pursued an ambition to establish my own business. Many former clients transferred to JPLA, and I have continued to acquire new clients selectively whilst maintaining an ethos of dedicated service to existing clients.
