About
Becky founded Lewinsohn Literary Agency in 2021.
She began her career at Faber & Faber before becoming Contracts Director at Abner Stein and later moving to WME and then Fox Mason. She focuses on literary and reading group fiction, memoir, pop culture, narrative non-fiction and essays. She was named Literary Agent of the Year at the 2022 British Book Awards.
Genres
Looking for
- literary and reading group fiction, memoir, pop culture, narrative non-fiction and essays, but always genre and format-defying
- under-represented voices, be that because of class, region, ethnic group or gender
- stories both familiar and relatable, but that show her something new about the world
Agency submission guidelines
Submissions are currently closed due to the volume being received; the inbox is not being checked. For fiction, send a covering letter, a synopsis, and 50 pages (or nearest to 50 where there is a natural break) in Word format. Do not post submissions. For non-fiction, send a covering letter, an introduction to the project, a basic chapter breakdown and a sample chapter. Ideally in Word format, but PDF is accepted where highly illustrated.
