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.
APRIL 24 at 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Jack Fogg, DunnFogg
Jack Fogg and Ben Dunn have over 50 years of combined experience in publishing, working their way up from editorial assistants to publishers and managing directors of their own lists at major publishing houses. They have worked with many bestselling authors who have won and been shortlisted for literary awards across fiction and non-fiction. They formed their own agency in 2021, having worked together for nearly two decades.
Jack started his publishing career at Bloomsbury in 2004, and went on to work at 4th Estate, Hodder, Century and Harper Fiction and Harper Non-Fiction over a seventeen-year career as an editor and publisher.
In 2018 he was nominated as editor of the year at the British Book Awards and in 2019 he set up the multiple award-winning Mudlark imprint at HarperCollins, which concentrates on quality non-fiction of all varieties. Jack would love to find books with a speculative edge, which introduce an element of the unknown into real-world settings, or throw forward into imaginable versions of our future. In non-fiction, his tastes are broad, and he reads widely in the areas of memoir, current affairs, politics, biography, sport, history, psychology, pop science, food and nature writing.
As a publisher and agent, Jack has worked on books by investigative journalists, chefs, war veterans and reporters, carpenters, composers, comedians, heart surgeons, rock stars, car designers, neuroscientists, submariners, shoemakers and street artists, and the great lesson he took from his time working with them is that any subject, person, field, niche or subculture can be made interesting by powerful storytelling, passion and knowledge. He is always on the lookout for people who want to marry their love and expertise of a subject with great writing.
