As I prepare for my first book fair as a United Agent, it’s inspiring to see United Agents this week for the first time featured in articles in The Bookseller (UK), Guardian (UK), and Variety (USA). Joel Rickett’s article in the April 4th Bookseller , “Flying a United Flag”, is the first interview given by leading book agents, Caroline Dawnay, Simon Trewin, and Pat Kavanagh since we all left PFD. The Guardian article, “United We Stand”, and Variety article, “Rebel Agents Stand United”, are interesting too for a look inside the United Agents’ film and tv departments. For any of you who didn’t catch all the press last fall about PFD, this week’s press is a good way to be filled in on the defiant birth of United Agents. I’m elated and honoured to be the first American agent to work with this brilliant team of British rebels from the “moshpit” and up!
