About Us

Graham Maw Christie was established in 2005 to focus exclusively on non-fiction. Our approach is collaborative, creative and market-driven. We believe a successful book starts with a strong proposal and that authors need someone in their corner: not just to find them the right editor but to support them during the process of writing the best book they can; through each stage of production, publicity & marketing and then long after the book has been published. We love what we do. Building good working relationships with publishing editors and authors is at the heart of our business, and we delight in each author’s every triumph, with many becoming national and international bestsellers, Sunday Times bestsellers, prize winners and published in multiple languages worldwide.
We work very closely with our authors, shaping book ideas, editing proposals and manuscripts, giving advice and offering strategies and support at every step.
As well as support with marketing and social media advice, we help build profiles and brands by collaborating with speaker agencies, publicists and talent agents, while our sub-agents handle representation for TV film and foreign rights.

​We are members of the Association of Authors' Agents and abide by their Code of Practice.
