Hello, it’s nice to see you here!
I’m Louise.

I have worked in publishing for over fifteen years.

After cutting my teeth as a bookseller with Waterstones, I spent six years working in editorial, first at Dorling Kindersley and then in the commercial fiction division at Pan Macmillan, where I published a mix of commercial bestsellers and award-winning authors.

Most recently, I was an Associate Literary Agent at Zeno Agency Ltd. As an agent I represented a roster of commercial and literary fiction, including Anne Griffin’s When All is Said, which spent five weeks at number one in Ireland and sold into 17 territories. In 2024 I joined Hannah Sheppard at Hannah Sheppard Literary Agency as an Associate Literary Agent.

You can find out what kind of books I am looking for here. Details of how to submit to me can be found here. Please note, I am only open for the first week of every month.

In addition to (and separate from) my agenting work, I provide book coaching and editorial feedback to authors. Details of book coaching can be found here and other editorial services here.
