Agent Bio

Viola Hayden began her career as a publisher for about seven years before moving to Curtis Brown and agenting.

She represents both fiction and non-fiction (skewing towards fiction and the more commercial end), works alongside Jonny Geller and co-agents on his list, and prioritises story over style while acknowledging the best books deliver both.
