Represented By
In June 2020 I submitted two chapters of my novel-in-progress to an agent tables event hosted by Byte the Book, and, unusually as I had not yet written the rest of my novel! was quickly signed by Ben Dunn of Dunn Fogg Literary Agency. I am currently finessing the final draft of my literary work of fiction, together with my agent, readying it for him to submit to publishers. (Therefore, I have not written any short stories in a while, although I have begun my second book.) https://dunnfogg.co.uk/
