The publishing landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade, and authors have had to change with it. Many of the cows are no longer sacred, and some old assumptions no longer hold true. Just like authors, literary agents and publishers have had to react to these unfamiliar new conditions or perish.
I’m lucky enough to be represented in the UK by Luigi Bonomi of LBA, a calm centre in an ocean of chaos, and in my opinion the best literary agent in London. And I’m equally lucky to be published by Michael Bhaskar, the co-founder and publishing director of Canelo. His vision and dedication, and his talented staff, are rapidly transforming his company into a major force in twenty-first century publishing.
