“Informative, insightful and fun. I would recommend any aspiring writer to pop along.”
Speechwriter for NATO Secretary General
Join us at our LWC LIVE MONTHLY ONLINE EVENT. The live Zoom events are a friendly chat with a leading literary agent and Jacq Burns.
30 June 6:00pm – 7:30pm
LWC Live with Daisy Chandley, PFD
Daisy Chandley is an Agent in the Books Department, and also works with Tim Bates as the UK sub-agent for New Directions Publishing in the US. She joined Peters, Fraser & Dunlop in 2019 after graduating from the University of Oxford with a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
She is actively building a list of both fiction and non-fiction authors across a range of genres.
With fiction, her wish list roughly falls into three categories – if something feels like it overlaps between them, even better.
1) Sharp, original novels on the literary to upmarket spectrum.
2) Romance, particularly romance with humour to it.
3) Mysteries, only well crafted mystery outside of the straightforward commercial crime or thrillers.
Peters Fraser + Dunlop is one of the longest-established literary and talent agencies in London. They develop industry-leading work in the fields of literature, film, television, radio, audio, public speaking, digital platforms and journalism.
They work closely with their clients to connect them with the right partners, across the media, while protecting their rights every step of the way.
Their business is about creativity, enhancement, innovation and service. They believe in developing and nurturing talent over time, while also pursuing cutting-edge opportunities in a fast-paced and ever-changing market.
Their list is a testament to almost a hundred years of long-term vision and creative excellence.
Jacq Burns was commissioning editor at Random House & Editorial Director at Harper Collins where she edited classics such as Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus, Who Moved My Cheese, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and Toddler Taming – which have sold millions of copies.
She is the author of Write a Bestseller, published by Hodder, and a bestselling series of successful books for Random House, under a pseudonym. Jacq has also ghostwritten a number of well-known titles, co-founder of The London Writers Club and is Head Judge for the Business Book Awards. She is also a literary agent for authors.
