“High concept hooks, beautiful writing and page turning plots are what I’m looking for”

Juliet Mushens became an agent in 2011 after beginning her career at HarperCollins Publishers in 2008. More than a dozen of her clients are Sunday Times bestsellers with more than half a dozen claiming the number one slot, including Jessie Burton (The Miniaturist), Richard Osman (The Thursday Murder Club), Saara El-Arifi (Faebound) and Claire Douglas (The Wrong Sister). The Times ran a piece recognising her as the first agent to represent the number 1, 2 and 3 UK bestsellers in the same week, a feat she has since repeated. Juliet sits on the advisory board of Book Brunch, is currently President of the British Fantasy Society and sits on the board of the Women’s Prize Trust.
