Agent Bio
James has worked in publishing and literary representation since 1995, building a broad list across fiction and non‑fiction for the general‑trade market.
He has represented Sunday Times #1 and top‑ten bestsellers and clients shortlisted for major prizes including the Booker Prize and the Baillie Gifford Prize, as well as authors who have won awards such as the Wolfson History Prize and the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.
James seeks original projects with clarity of intent—especially first‑person real‑life stories, compelling plots, and believable characters—and represents work that balances commercial appeal with literary distinction.
