Here’s what our authors say about working with Mushens Entertainment…

Juliet’s incisive and thoughtful mind, her boundless energy, imagination and support have helped me make my books the best they can be. She is a beam of sunshine on my writing career.
— Jessie Burton, No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of THE MINIATURIST, THE MUSE and THE CONFESSION
Nobody works harder than Juliet. She knows every project inside and out, has a keen editorial eye, and is endlessly encouraging. Most of all, she always has my back. My most recent book was in a new genre for me, an unnerving prospect, but Juliet was there for me every step of the way, bringing to bear her considerable experience and expertise. She’s a dream agent.
— Jen Williams, award-winning novelist of six novels
Liza’s passion for her job shines through – she champions her authors’ books with boundless enthusiasm and she has made my debut journey one full of positivity. She is patient when I am clueless, encouraging when I need a guiding hand and always excited whenever there is something to celebrate. It’s like having a trusted friend who pushes me to reach my full potential and is wholly invested in my future. I can’t thank her enough for everything she does.
— Natalie Keller, author of BELIEVE ME NOT
Rachel’s sharp editorial insights, ready wit, zen-like calm, and boundless warmth are second to none. She has an uncanny way of making you feel as if you’re her only priority, no matter how busy she may be, fighting for you without ever making a fuss. I can write freely every single day, and block out the noise, because I know she has my back, always ready to champion me to others or send self-doubt on its way. I’m so grateful I get to share this journey with Rachel.
— Mimi Deb, author of LOVE ON THE MENU
Juliet is a fantastic agent because she always goes above and beyond for all her authors. She works incredibly hard, always has your back, is nurturing and super smart, with an in-depth knowledge of the publishing industry, and so is able to give brilliant advice and guidance. She has a wide range of overseas contacts which enable her to secure excellent deals in other territories as well in the UK. In the years we’ve worked together she has taken my career from strength to strength, both here and abroad. Not only is she a great agent but she is a lovely person and friend.
— Claire Douglas, Sunday Times bestselling author of LOCAL GIRL MISSING
Rachel is a better agent than I could have hoped for. She is kind, considerate, sharp and knowledgeable. Her expert guidance and insights invariably make my writing better and I would be lost without her incredible editorial skills. She’s been thoughtful and reassuring every step of the way which I’m so grateful for. I think I would have gone mad without her!
— Emily Slapper, author of EVERYONE I KNOW IS DYING
In the four years I’ve worked with Liza, she has made over 30 international rights sales for my novels, including 13 for my third novel Mrs England. Her relationships with publishers all over the world reflect what a joy she is to work with and I know big things are ahead for her.
— Stacey Halls, Sunday Times Bestseller of THE FAMILIARS, THE FOUNDLING, and MRS ENGLAND
From my very first meeting with Rachel, her talent and passion for books shone through. I knew so little about the publishing industry before we started working together, but her patience and candour in answering my (many) questions has been invaluable. It’s a real privilege to be represented by Rachel and every day I feel immensely grateful knowing that such a lovely person has my back and is championing my books.
— Elle Machray, author of REMEMBER, REMEMBER
Now I’m on my 8th book Liza still works so hard to get me new deals, selling my back list into new territories. She has done an amazing job with my recently released 7th book, already selling it to ten territories.
— Claire Douglas, Sunday Times Bestselling author of THE COUPLE AT NO 9
 
When I first met Liza the first thought that went through my head was that I’d be in a safe pair of hands. It was only later as we went from editing my manuscript to subbing to publishers that I realized how modest my initial thoughts were. From the very beginning, Liza was passionate about finding me the best publishing home for my debut and pairing me with the right editor to help me develop as a writer. Liza’s editorial insight, rights aficionado, penchant for spotting unruly metaphors, kindness and all-round amazingness makes her second to none and I feel so lucky to have her as my agent.
— Stacey Thomas, author of THE REVELS
As a debut author, I couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Rachel. She’s been a passionate champion of my writing from the start, and is always on hand for detailed and thoughtful advice. Editorially, she is so clear and sharp and has a great instinct for a story, even on the fly. And on top of that, she’s managed to get me publishing deals I’d only dreamt of before I met her. Rachel has been a joy to work with, along with everyone else at Mushens Entertainment.
— Fiona McPhillips, author of UNDERWATER
I have Juliet to thank for my career - signing with her is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She makes you feel as though you’re her only client - she’s always on hand for advice or guidance, gets the best deals for her clients and knows the industry inside out.
— Stacey Halls, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE FOUNDLING and THE FAMILIARS
Juliet is truly the best in the game. There’s no question about it. She’s strengthened my writing, changed my life, but most of all she’s kept my spirit fed with unwavering support and enthusiasm.
As a debut author trying to navigate the publishing world, all pressure is alleviated with Juliet by my side. The team she has built up around her enhance the ethos she operates by—to go above and beyond— and I’m grateful every day she plucked me from the slush pile.
— Saara El-Arifi, author of THE FINAL STRIFE trilogy
Working with Juliet is an absolute joy. She has been relentlessly enthusiastic about my writing from day one, and the feedback she provides consistently demonstrates her deep understanding of story and craft. Throughout my journey to publication, she has been a champion, a guide, and a mentor. All of her effort has pushed me to become a better writer.
— Andrew Reid, author of THE HUNTER
Liza has changed my life with her belief and passion for my writing. From the first time I met her, I was struck by her warmth and authenticity. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the ins and outs of the industry, she has such a big heart when it comes to working with her writers. Whenever we embark on a new journey together, she always ensures that I am taken care of every step of the way. I feel so blessed to have her in my corner!
— Pim Wangtechawat, debut author of THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART
