Dear Reader,
We are My Agent Secret.
We have a collection of motives for wanting you to come here and stick around.
From a business perspective we want more great writers to find our agency Mulcahy Sweeney Literary Agency and realise we’re good at what we do. We want talented people to wish they were represented by us and get in touch either directly or through our submissions process.
We also see that, for many, the book industry isn’t easy to grasp or to join. We don’t like its opaqueness nor its inaccessibility. We want to play a part in stripping away the bullshit. We’re here to offer guidance to all writers who get confused or frustrated as they try to make a career as an author.
Owner of Mulcahy Sweeney Literary agency and co-founder of MMB Creative Ivan Mulcahy writes our regular newsletter which is not to be missed:
Tilly's Bookshelf: Diary of a guilty school girl writes, edits and presents our content. She tries to orchestrate information which writers want/need to hear.
Sallyanne Sweeney is a leading agent in British and Irish publishing for writers and illustrators of children's books. She represents an enviable range of fiction authors across several genres. We haven’t dragged her to Substack… yet. But she’s an integral part of our namesake and team.
Edwina de Charnacé is our newest freshest fiercest literary agent. She writes for us occasionally.
Grace Nasmyth is new to the team. Welcome Grace. She’s one of our Substack scouts.
We hope you’ll find something of value here which either helps you to crystallise the vision or get real about a dream.
Our best
