Jo’s been an agent for two years now, having previously worked as a television scriptwriter and bookscout for Aardman Features. Starting at Conville and Walsh with a plan to build a dedicated children’s list, she soon found herself unable to resist working with authors writing adult Literary or Commercial fiction.
In short she’s looking for fantastic fiction for anyone aged 9-99, and has launched several debut authors’ careers. She’s looking for emotionally-engaging writing, strong narrative voices, as well as comedy.
N.B. Jo doesn’t represent any picture book illustrators.
