Book in a 121 with a top literary agent to get feedback and advice on her manuscript - and who knows, the agent might want to represent you (just like what happened to Sam Parks last year).Helena assisted the MD of a boutique literary agency for two years before joining Curtis Brown to assist Sheila Crowley in April 2024.
They work closely together across many established bestselling authors, as well as debut authors within commercial and upmarket fiction, and some expert lead non-fiction.
Helena is looking for book club and genre fiction that incorporates the perfect blend of strong characters, moreish plot, and quality writing. She loves reading contemporary fiction that starts a conversation, with a distinctive and unpretentious voice.
In non-fiction, she loves to read memoirs that teach me about a moment in history.
She is not looking to represent science fiction, fantasy, romantasy, young adult, or books for children.
You must send a cover letter, synopsis and the first 3 chapters in one document to [email protected] before 31st March.
121s cost £70 for a 15-minute session where the agent will give you feedback on your words and takes place at the Marsham Court Hotel.
