Catherine Clarke
I have been building a list of adult non-fiction and children’s fiction writers since 2001. In non-fiction, I particularly love history and philosophy and biography, especially from authors who have the academic credentials or expertise but also have the ambition and vision and writerly skill to make us see their subjects in a new light, or to overturn received wisdom. I also love outstanding nature writing with a dash of compelling memoir. I am a passionate believer in the importance of recognizing women’s achievements in publishing, and in 2003 I co-founded the Kim Scott Walwyn Prize to foster that. In 2017 I was named Literary Agent of the Year in the British Book Awards, and from 2022 to 2024, I was President of the Association of Authors’ Agents.
