“Kate is a dedicated, sharp and energetic agent.”

 

Anna Stuart wanted to be an author from the moment she could hold a pen and was writing boarding school novels by the age of nine.  After a ‘proper job’ as a factory planner Anna stopped to have children and took the chance to take up the ‘improper job’ of writing again.

During the baby years she filled every free moment writing short stories and serials for all the women’s magazines but her ultimate aim was to write longer fiction, which she now does.

Anna is writing a series of gripping and heartbreaking novels based on real events during WW2 for Bookouture. Anna Stuart also writes warm-hearted contemporary fiction for Trapeze. Under the pseudonym Joanna Courtney she writes powerful historical novels and as Jo Wilde she has penned a lockdown love story called Just the Two of Us.

THE WRITER WHO MOST INSPIRED ANNA

Nick Hornby. I love his contemporary fiction with an engaging bite, about real people with all their flaws and foibles.


ANNA ABOUT KATE

Kate is a dedicated, sharp and energetic agent and I’m hugely thankful to have her at my back.


KATE ABOUT ANNA

Anna’s 2WW historical novels are a perfect mixture of thrilling, warm, uplifting and moving.  Based on her brilliant research she creates characters and stories that feel so real to us.  She not only entertains and informs, she also makes us better, kinder people.

Anna is also a writing dynamo! She works so hard for her readers that sometimes I think she must have an identical twin co-writer!

We’ve worked together for years and I consider myself incredibly lucky to be her agent and friend.
