Win me over with your unique storytelling. Then I can win others over too. This is not AI-generated text. And I don’t want any AI-generated texts from you either.

The literary world thrives on the magic of discovery. As a literary agent specialising in popular non-fiction, I’ll give you guidance on how to make that happen. Surprise me and the world out there.

Books make people, and people make books. Writing is a skill that needs to be learnt. So does performing on stage.

Welcome to my talent incubator. Less is more. I deliberately work with just a few, carefully selected authors and projects, providing personal and professional support.

Please send me your proposal along with a reading sample. I cannot consider enquiries without a proposal. And very importantly: I do not represent specialist books or novels.

Book marketing expert Jutta Echterhoff and I offer webinars and workshops covering everything from the initial idea to the proposal, from finding a publisher to author branding and book marketing: BookDream – your dream of a book.
