Lisa Fuller

An agent with Alex Adsett Literary (see other agents at this agency).

About

Lisa is a Wuilli Wuilli woman from Eidsvold, Queensland, also descended from Wakka Wakka and Gooreng Gooreng peoples. She’s lived on Ngunnawal and Ngambri lands (Canberra) since 2006 and is doing her PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Canberra.
Lisa has been in the publishing industry since 2011, when she began working in-house at Aboriginal Studies Press. After a number of years, she moved on to pursue her PhD in Creative Writing and continued to work as a freelance editor / publishing consultant. Around this time, she won the 2017 David Unaipon Award for an Unpublished Indigenous Writer and the 2017 Eleanor Dark Fellowship at Varuna.
This manuscript went on to become her debut novel, Ghost Bird, which has received the 2020 ACT Book of the Year, the 2020 Queensland Literary Awards, and the 2020 Readings Young Adult Book Prize, among others. Ghost Bird was released in the UK in October 2021, and as an audiobook in 2022. She also has essays, short stories and poetry published across a number of publications. Her short story, ‘Don’t Look’, went on to win two 2021 Aurealis Awards.
Having recently (finally!) submitted her PhD for marking, Lisa has won an Elevate grant for a mentorship to work with Alex on learning the ropes of becoming a literary agent. She’s all about Own Voices works, YA, children’s literature and all things speculative fiction.
Lisa wears many hats including sessional academic, freelance writer, editor and publishing consultant. In 2024, she is looking forward to working with Alex at Alex Adsett Literary and finding books and authors she’s passionate about.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
