Annette has been an agent for over three decades.  After graduating with a BA in English and Humanities she worked in publishing and agenting for several years.  She set up her own agency in 1998 and has enjoyed considerable success since then.  She has worked closely with many of her authors to shape, develop and edit their work until it is ready for submission to publishers.

​

She founded The Creative Writing Consultancy with David Smith in order to give aspiring authors access to the mentoring talents of some of the agency's own clients.

When she is not at her desk or in meetings she spends as much time as she can with her horse, a purebred Haflinger called Mo.
