Agent Bio
For Bryony, protecting authors’ rights, ensuring their careers flourish and championing their work all around the world is more than just a career: it’s a personal passion, along with the belief that the right book at the right moment can truly change the world.
Bryony was selected by The Bookseller as one of their Rising Stars of 2013, and was a winner of the London Book Fair Trailblazer Awards 2016 and the Young Stationers’ Prize 2016.
Before setting up her own agency in 2012, she spent several years working in specialist bookshops and libraries, and at the Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency.
She has worked with top publishers both in the UK and abroad, and loves negotiating publishing contracts to an almost absurd degree.
