Lewinsohn Literary Agency

About this Agency

Lewinsohn Literary Agency was founded by Becky Thomas in 2021. It is named after, and as a tribute to, Becky’s Holocaust survivor maternal line, and she wants to continue her commitment to represent authors who write from the margins, elevating them to critical and commercial success, with this ethos of legacy, inclusivity and hard work.

Our authors are both bestselling and critically acclaimed, and include winners and nominees of multiple prizes, from the William Hill to the Costa, the CILIP Carnegie Medal to the Ted Hughes Award, the Goldsmiths to the Nibbies. We have a unique speciality in where the literary scene merges with live work, crossing over with the poetry and theatre scenes, podcasts, broadcast and journalism, and tv/film adaptation.

Becky was Literary Agent of the Year 2022, awarded at British Book Awards.

As a boutique agency, we can be dynamic, innovative, and hands-on, offering close support and guidance through the industry to all writers we work with. We take the stance of another south east Londoner, David Rocastle: “Remember who you are, what you are, and who you represent”.
