Caroline Walsh
I began my career in children’s publishing and worked in editorial roles for twelve years before joining David Higham in 1996 as an agent specialising in children’s authors and illustrators.
Many of my clients have gone on to write award-wining and bestselling books and their output covers the whole range of children’s books, from pre-school board books, through picture books, poetry, middle-grade fiction, non-fiction and Teen/YA novels. I also represent a handful of adult fiction writers where my tastes are for upmarket book club fiction and classy commercial page-turners.
Children’s book submissions should be sent to childrenssubmissions@davidhigham.co.uk and please note the submissions guidelines before sending. I am currently closed to adult submissions and please note that I do not represent adult poetry.
Caroline is assisted by Deirdre Power and Christabel McKinley.
Brilliantly-told ‘slice of life’ stories – and if there’s humour and high stakes in the mix, so much the better.
A middle-grade novel where the protagonists look at our everyday world from a completely different perspective – think Borrowers for today’s generation of kids.
