I’m looking for transporting stories and arresting ideas; beautifully written work offering useful wisdom, valuable new perspective or delicious escape. I love helping writers who extend empathy, resist tyrannies, spark conversation, move and entertain.

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 and bestselling authors, including Rutger Bregman, Bernadine Evaristo, Hannah Fry, 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 a wonderful client list from a 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).
