THE Lindsay Literary Agency was founded in 2008 by Becky Bagnell, after whose maiden name the company is known. Becky has worked in publishing for over 25 years and started her career whilst still a student at Trinity College Dublin reading manuscripts for the Lilliput Press and being paid initially only in books.

Becky moved to Macmillan in London in 1996 where she worked as a commissioning editor and was fortunate to work alongside authors such as Max Hastings, Robert Service and John Simpson. One of the first books Becky commissioned was Bear Grylls’ debut, Facing Up.

The agency represents a wide range of writers most of which came to them as unpublished authors looking for their first break in the industry. The agency specialises in writing for children and so represents everything from picture books to Young Adult fiction as well as non-fiction for young people.
