Jonny Geller

Profile

Aside from my day job as an agent, I am also Managing Director of the books division. After working as an actor in early 1990s, I turned to book agenting and joined Curtis Brown as an assistant before becoming an agent in 1995.

I am lucky enough to work with a fantastic range of writers spanning from authors of first class literary fiction to best selling thriller writers, from ground-breaking journalists to public figures and business people, from comedians and actors to the very best writers in the field of women's commercial fiction.

I also wrote a humour book in 2006 called Yes, But is it Good for the Jews? which was published by Penguin (UK), Bloomsbury (US) and Einaudi (Italy).

I am on the steering committee for World Book Night 2011 and World Book Night 2012 and the London Book Fair Advisory Board.  I also produced a book with Bloomsbury called New Beginnings to raise money for victims of the 2004 Tsunami.

I was shortlisted for the British Inspiration awards in the media category for 2011,and shortlisted for Literary Agent of the Year Award in 2007, 2010 & 2011.
