How did you become a literary agent? What do you enjoy about the job?
Working in an agency was my first publishing job, straight out of university. I didn’t know anything about the role of a literary agent (I was desperate for any way in to the industry I could find!) but once I figured out what they were all doing, I knew it was the job for me. I enjoy how each day is different-anything can come into your inbox; whether that’s a fire to put out, an author with a new submission, a client with an exciting new manuscript, or a publisher with news of an offer.
