Emma was formerly Managing Director of Macmillan
English Campus, and Head of Export Sales at Hodder Education. She
was Sales & Rights Director of Cassava Republic Press UK, an
award-winning independent African publishing company, until 2019.
She was Publishing Director for Ankara Press, an African romance
imprint launched in 2014, and conceived and coordinated the acclaimed
Valentine’s Day Anthology (2015), which featured contributions in
multiple languages from authors and translators across Africa.
Emma volunteers as a manuscript assessor for the African Writers’
Trust and sits on the Advisory Board for the Centre for Book
Cultures and Publishing, University of Reading.
Laxfield Literary Associates provide
representation for authors in Norfolk and Suffolk, and writers
from under-represented backgrounds. They are particularly
interested in working with authors based in Africa, the Middle
East and Ukraine, providing a complete agency service, with a
focus on author care, dialogue and transparency.
They are looking for fiction and non-fiction of
the highest quality and are keen to receive literary and
commercial fiction. They are also looking for non-fiction,
particularly creative non-fiction, travel writing, memoir and
nature writing. They do not represent plays, screenwriting,
children’s books or YA.

Retreat
into 5 Nights and 6 Days of Portuguese luxury!
No matter what kind of book you want to write –
memoir, a biography of your business, a novel, a deep-dive on an
issue you care about – writing a book requires time and focused
energy.
Simply finding the space to think about it for a
few days is often all that’s needed for the whole thing to start
taking shape. That’s why we would like to invite you to join us
on Portugal’s golden Algarve coast this June.

we will tell you how we can help.
