Notes

Clare Conville founded C&W (originally Conville & Walsh) in 2000 and is now Chair; the Observer named her one of the top 50 players in the world of books. Her client list includes Matt Haig, Dolly Alderton, Esther Freud, Rachel Joyce, and Misha Glenny, with authors collectively nominated for nearly every major UK literary prize. In 2020 she co-founded the independent publishing imprint and production company CHEERIO in association with the Estate of Francis Bacon. Writers should also be aware that her email address has been used in scam messages targeting new authors — any suspicious correspondence can be verified via elizabeth.milne@cwagency.co.uk.
