Sophie Lambert An agent with C&W Literary Agency (see other agents at this agency). About After several invaluable years as a bookseller and a book buyer on London’s Charing Cross Road I moved to New York and spent three years there as an assistant at Janklow & Nesbit. I moved back to London and started my own list at Tibor Jones & Associates before joining C&W in 2013. I became a Director and later Managing Director, and was shortlisted for Agent of the Year in 2019. Alongside many Sunday Times Bestselling authors, many authors I represent have been nominated for or won numerous prizes including the Booker Prize, the Baillie Gifford, the Costa Book of the Year, the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year, the Ondaatje Prize, the Wainwright Prize, the British Book of the Year Award, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Dylan Thomas Prize.I work very closely editorially with authors and love the process of helping guide a book from a kernel of an idea through to publication itself. A shared vision and ambition is key for me, so I feel I can truly add value to the author/ agent relationship. In terms of what I’m looking for - It’s all about the writing for me.

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.
