Short Biography

Felicity trained as a barrister but deserted the law for the literary world immediately upon qualifying. She interned at the (highly literary) Wylie Agency before moving to Curtis Brown, one of the largest British agencies and one with a strong film and TV division.She now works with Vivienne Schuster, but is also developing a list in her own right, selling direct in both London and New York and shuttling between the two cities as needed.She has a strong interest in food and wine and her developing list includes a lot of cookery-themed titles (Pizzeria Bianco, My Kind of Cooking, Student Cookbook, work by the actor Stanley Tucci, and more.) She also represents journalists who are turning their hand to book-length non-fiction.In terms of fiction, Felicity has an interest in commercial women’s fiction: one of her authors, Rosamund Lupton, wrote a million-plus-selling debut, sister, that was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. She also represents, for example, Tamar Cohen whose Mistress’s Revenge reheats some of the themes from Fatal Attraction.Other names include novelist, journalist and Puitzer Prizewinner, Jenniger Egan; Tom Rob Smith, the multi-million-selling author of Child 44 and The Farm; Candace Bushnell author of Sex And The City ; AD Garrett, the author of forensic-based thrillers; Gabrielle Donnelly, whose Little Women Letters imagines the further lives of Jo March’s descendants.
