Jennifer Barclay Books
(and more)
Agent
I began my book career at the Canadian literary agency Westwood Creative Artists in the 1990s, selling rights while I built my own client list. Later after working as a commissioning editor and then editorial director at Summersdale, I launched my own literary agency along with the editorial consultancy, offering clients guidance and support, seeking out publishing opportunities and negotiating contracts. Focusing primarily on memoir, I love honest, powerful storytelling, underdogs and bold living, outdoors adventure and learning about the world through captivating tales.
