Experienced Literary Agent for Fiction/Non-fiction/Sub-genres

License number: 712017

As a seasoned literary agent with over eight years of experience, I have been committed to discovering and fostering exceptional literary talent, guiding authors through every stage of their publishing journey. My academic background is rooted in my studies at Australian Catholic University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Marketing. This interdisciplinary education gave me a well-rounded perspective on both the creative and business aspects of the literary world, preparing me to expertly navigate the complexities of the publishing industry.

During my time at ACU, I actively participated in the ACU Prize for Poetry in 2013, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the power of language and creative expression. This competition not only sharpened my editorial insights but also fueled my passion for working with writers who push the boundaries of storytelling. I was also recognized for my academic achievements, receiving ACU Prize for Poetry participation awards.

Since beginning my career, I have successfully represented authors across a wide range of genres, including children's book, novels and poetry books, and secured numerous lucrative publishing deals with renowned publishing houses. My professional track record includes the representation of The Chronicles of Detective Max by Cameron Webster, Secret of the Psyche by Jaden Bowling and The Little Companion by Caroline Mcleod, and I am known for my ability to balance a keen editorial eye with strategic market foresight.

In addition to advocating for established and debut authors, I am deeply committed to promoting underrepresented voices and ensuring that diverse perspectives are heard in today’s literary landscape. I maintain a strong network within the industry and am an active member of Writers Guild of America and Association of Literary Agents of America. My contributions as a speaker and panelist at literary conferences, such as 16th International Conference on the Short Story in English in Singapore, have allowed me to share my expertise on current publishing trends and the evolving role of the literary agent.

With a unique blend of creativity, business acumen, and an unwavering dedication to my clients, I strive to ensure that every writer I represent reaches their full potential, bringing stories to life that resonate with readers and make a lasting impact.
