I studied English literature at Leeds University, with a year at Mcgill University in Montreal. After a brief stint of work experience at a Publishing PR company, I started at Curtis Brown in November 2003. I represent Children's and YA authors together with some adult fiction and non-fiction.
Having grown up reading Point Horror and Christopher Pike books, and moving on to study Gothic literature, I am particularly drawn to dark and sinister novels (and am quite fond of Halloween). I am also interested in funny stories for children, unusual ideas and great adventures. We are currently building the children’s list and our focus is mainly on books for 8-12 year olds and stand out YA titles.
