I’m looking for transporting stories and arresting ideas: writers who break new ground.

I want distinctive voices; useful wisdom; new perspectives and delicious escape. Writers who extend empathy, resist tyrannies, spark conversation, entertain, and move us to tears. Good humans too.

Recent bestsellers include THE BOOKSHOP by Evan Friss, REST IS RESISTANCE by Tricia Hersey, THE IMMORTALITY KEY by Brian Muraresku, GOOD PEOPLE by Upworthy, ONE WAY BACK by Christine Blasey Ford - and the DC Smith/Kings Lake series from the million-copy selling, crime fiction phenomenon Peter Grainger.

I have helped launch the career of many prize-winning, bestselling and beloved authors, including Rutger Bregman, Bernardine Evaristo, Hannah Fry, Rebecca Godfrey, Tricia Hersey, Tom Holland, Claire Keegan, Hari Kunzru, Brian Muraresku, Maggie O'Farrell and Kamila Shamsie.

I’ve also been entrusted with the work of great established talents including Harlan Ellison, Germaine Greer; Alan Hollinghurst, David Kennedy, Marian Keyes, Paul McCartney, Andrew Miller, VS Naipaul, Norman Ohler, and Andrew Smith.

Born in England, I've lived in America over half my life. After Cambridge, I joined Ogilvy & Mather before going to work for Gillon Aitken. I came to New York to oversee the publication of BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY and one of the first books I'd sold in London, Germaine Greer’s THE WHOLE WOMAN. In New York, I was able to introduce the work of many of Britain's best writers to wide US audiences. After an initial stint at Carlisle & Co, now Inkwell, I co-founded a new agency, Fletcher & Parry, building my wildly talented client list from an idyllic carriage house off Union Square. The day came to sell, and after a spell with my family in the Hudson Valley, I joined Janklow and Nesbit in 2013.

I'm also the author of the novel MRS. BENEDICT ARNOLD (Zando, 2026).
