Isobel is an Associate Agent and joined Curtis Brown in June 2017 to work with Stephanie Thwaites. She has a background in children’s publishing and is actively building her own list, looking particularly for young adult and middle-grade fantasy, sci-fi, graphic novels and children's non-fiction. She reads widely but has a particular love for fantasy and especially plots with ambitious world-building and immersive mythologies. She loves books set in ‘our world’ with a mythical strand running through them and fairy-tales that take us somewhere simultaneously familiar and cosy but also strange and eerie. In 2019 she was longlisted for the Trailblazer Award.
