The Writing Room is a space for authors to exchange positive ideas, professional advice and motivation. 

In this series, you'll find interviews with authors, publishing professionals, and wider industry contacts about writing and publishing.  

In this episode, we spoke to Literary Agent Emily Glenister about the role of an agent, best practice for querying, and gained some insight into the submission process. Emily trained to be an actress at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, graduating in 2010 before working as an agent and agent's assistant in offices that represented the likes of Charlotte Rampling, Sir Roger Moore, Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow. In 2020, after assisting David Headley for four years in all aspects of the agency, Emily was made an Associate Agent, before becoming an Agent at the tail-end of 2021.
