Juliet Pickering

Juliet is not giving one-to-ones, but is happy to answer your questions at the Sunday 'Ask the Agent' session, from 12-1 pm.
Juliet is proud to represent a list of intriguing, conversation-starting, diverse writers, across both fiction and non-fiction. Many of her authors write contemporary stories, often led by themes of identity, coming-of-age, class, gender and sexuality, to name a few.  For her, vital qualities to a good story include emotional depth, authenticity, an engaging voice and irrepressible energy. Juliet wants to be surprised, and to see everyday experiences and relationships told with nuance and colour.

Juliet loves to bring an under-represented experience to both editors and readers, and some of her most enjoyable moments have been campaigning for authors who have looked for a book to reflect their experience and, not having found it, have written their own to provide that space for others. She’s a proud feminist and loves books that empower women, or that make us feel recognised and heard.
