1-2-1 with Literary Agent Ciera McEllin

Literary agent, Watson, Little

Ciara joined Watson, Little in 2017. As an Associate Agent she is actively building her list whilst working alongside Laetitia Rutherford and Donald Winchester.

Ciara reads widely across book club, upmarket and literary fiction. Within these areas, I am drawn to novels that examine family and relationship dynamics, sexuality, identity, and vulnerability. I am keen to hear from writers who take a fresh approach to these themes, whether that be a new perspective on a traditional narrative or a focus on characters and voices that remain underrepresented.

Ciara is looking for literary and upmarket fiction and narrative non-fiction but not Children’s, YA or Fantasy.

You must send a cover letter, synopsis and the first 3 chapters in one document to paul@bournemouthwritingfestival.co.uk before 31st March.
