Yes, that’s what you read. I, Rebecca Bradley, have literary agent representation and I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Kate Nash of the Kate Nash Literary Agency offered representation after reading the manuscript for Shallow Waters and I jumped at the chance.
I’d approached Kate because I liked the description on her website, “of a small boutique agency taking on few clients”. I wanted a personal feel to any possible journey to publication. I didn’t want to feel overwhelmed. Kate and I chatted. Or rather I bumbled about with nerves, but luckily, this didn’t seem to put her off! Idea’s and plans were started and papers signed and as of yesterday, it’s all official.
I’ll say it again – I have a literary agent!
Oh, and she promised to give me deadlines because I said I liked to work to them…. I told you I was bumbling!

Jodi says
Awesome, way to go!
Rebecca Bradley says
I hope it’s the start of a long career! π
Jodi says
Keep writing great books and it will be! Most writers careers don’t take off until book three, don’t stop writing because you feel you need to devote all your time to self promotion.
Rebecca Bradley says
I know it’s not all rosy from here. That’s the difficulty though isn’t it. Recognising that you need to pull away from social networks a little to actually get the writing done! I’m looking forward to it though π
