Q&A with a literary agent

Join us for a Q&A session with literary agent, Francesca Riccardi where you will have the chance to ask all the burning questions you've been wanting to know about getting a literary agent.

Francesca Riccardi is a literary agent at Kate Nash Literary Agency. She has previously worked in publishing sales roles at HarperCollins, Constable & Robinson, Atlantic Books (where she was recognised as a 2017 Bookseller Rising Star), and Canelo. She represents commercial and upmarket fiction and reads widely across all genres, with particular interests in books with a strong voice and sense of place, high concept hooks, and novels that showcase lesser known experiences and/or female and diverse narratives.
Francesca was born and raised in Peterborough and lived in Leeds, London, and Southend, before moving back to the Fens where she lives with her partner and their two rescue dogs.
