About Us

We represent several of the UK’s bestselling non-fiction authors of recent years.  When we launched Graham Maw Christie, London, UK, in 2005, we set out to focus on non-fiction and a collaborative, creative, market-driven approach. We believe a successful book starts with a strong book proposal and that authors need someone in their corner, not only to find the right publisher but to navigate and prepare for each stage of the publishing process, from pitching and editing to working with publishing teams and beyond - after the book is published. We love what we do. Building good relationships with publishers and editors is at the heart of our business.

As well as supporting our authors with marketing and social media advice, we collaborate with speaker agencies, publicists, and film/TV producers, and our sub-agents handle Graham Maw Christie's representation for TV film and foreign rights.

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