Agent Information
Agent Bio
Since founding the agency in 2012, Madeleine was awarded Literary Agent of the Year at the British Book Awards in 2018 and was shortlisted again in 2020.
She has been responsible for discovering some of the highest-selling and award-wining contemporary authors who consistently hit the bestseller lists in the New York Times, The Sunday Times and The Globe and Mail.
Madeleine reads across all areas of fiction but is immediately drawn to powerful, voice-led book club fiction with memorable characters and themes that will spark up conversation.
She loves a literary voice that lingers on long after reading, an exciting concept that can be pitched in one sentence, and themes that resonate with readers on a universal level.
