We're delighted for our client Sophie Keetch, who has signed with Marina de Pass after reading her 'Ask an Agent' post on the BPA blog.

‘I’m absolutely thrilled to have Marina as my literary agent. Her enthusiasm and vision for my book is wonderful and I am so excited to be working with her. I’d also like to mention Fiona and the excellent advice she gave me in the BPA manuscript assessment. It was clear and constructive and gave me the confidence to get my manuscript to where it needed to be for querying.’ – Sophie Keetch
