I joined C&W in 2005 as an assistant before becoming a Primary Agent and Director, and was shortlisted for Agent of the Year in 2018.
Being an agent allows me to do what I love best: discovering new and distinct voices, helping debut writers launch their careers and working with already published novelists who might want a change in direction. What I look for in the writers I represent is the ability to instantly transport me, whether that’s into a character’s mind, a new world, a fresh perspective, an engaging voice, or an unexpected situation – and then to keep me there. I would describe myself as an editorial agent as I love to work with writers on shaping their work and strategizing for career longevity.
My list is mainly fiction, with the odd non-fiction project, ranging from literary fiction to crime and thrillers, book club and up-lit to gothic, speculative and genre-busting fiction.
My writers include NYT bestsellers M.L. Stedman and Natasha Solomons, Sunday Times bestsellers Miranda Cowley Heller, Joanna Cannon, Jo Browning Wroe, Jess Kidd, Jo Callaghan and Daniel Cole, Irish bestseller Anne Griffin, Australian multi-award winner Maxine Beneba Clarke, and Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year shortlistee and newest Bond novelist commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate, Kim Sherwood.

I started my career at Rogers, Coleridge & White and in 2006 set up Lucy Luck Associates. In 2014 I formally joined Aitken Alexander Associates and in 2016 moved to C&W. Over the years my authors have been listed for and awarded numerous prizes including the Rooney Prize, the Orange Prize, the Booker Prize, the Guardian First Book Award, the Irish Book Award, the Costa First Novel Award, the British Book Award Newcomer of the Year, the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award, the EFG Sunday Times Short Story Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize, the Impac Dublin Literary Award, the Desmond Elliott Prize and the Encore Award.

I started out in publishing as an intern with C&W in 2013, and joined the team to work across translation and primary agenting before building my own list. I love the breadth and scope of my job as an agent, and that I can go from knotty plot work on a fast-paced thriller to a gorgeous literary novel to being immersed in 18th Century scandals or the cutting edge of clinical science. For me the joy is always in finding a new voice or world to immerse myself in, and working collaboratively with my authors to do justice to the stories they want to tell and the career they want to build.
My list is a pretty even split of fiction and non-fiction, ranging from suspense and thrillers to book group and literary fiction, and from voice-driven narrative nonfiction by journalists or academics to memoir. The authors I represent include NYT-bestsellers Ellery Lloyd, queer romcom queen Laura Kay, literary novelist Imogen Crimp, feminist cultural historian Elinor Cleghorn and clinical psychologist Alexandra Shaker.

I joined C&W in 2017, making the short move across from the books department at Curtis Brown, after five years assisting Gordon Wise.
I represent a broad range of non-fiction, from serious history to cookery, science, nature writing, books about modern society, health writing, self-development, and quality true crime. I also look after a small list of YA writers, including the international bestseller, Connie Glynn.
Lots of my authors are bestsellers and award winners, while many have projects under option and in development for film, TV or podcast series. I’m always excited to see my authors expand their careers and thrive as storytellers in other media.
I represent authors of narrative and serious non-fiction, from investigative journalism to history, science and nature writing. I also look after health, self-development, lifestyle and YA writing. My clients include Raven Smith, Prof. Pragya Agarwal, Ben Machell, Dr Anjana Khatwa, Marisa Bate, Alex Perry, The School Night Vegan, and Dr Priya Atwal.
