​​In this episode, hosts Theo and Julia sit down with Charlotte Colwill, co-founder of the independent literary agency Colwill & Peddle, to discuss how both aspiring and established authors can find the right literary agent for them. 

 

Charlotte brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, having worked in bookselling before transitioning to the world of literary representation, where she currently represents authors of fiction, nonfiction, and children's literature.

 

Listeners can expect to learn about the role of a literary agent and what makes a strong pitch, as well as hearing anecdotes and examples from her own experiences working with authors and publishers.
