Diana Beaumont
Literary Agent
Diana joined Marjacq in 2017. She started agenting with Rupert Heath Literary Agency in 2011 before moving to UTA. Before that she was senior commissioning editor at Transworld.
Diana was chosen as one of The Bookseller’s Rising Stars of 2012, was a nominee for RNA Agent of the Year 2019, and was shortlisted for Literary Agent of the Year 2022 at the British Book Awards. Her list includes a wide range of bestselling and prize-winning authors in the UK and internationally. Diana is looking for upmarket women's commercial fiction with depth and heart, including historical novels, romance, saga and relationship-driven contemporary stories that are irreverent and make her laugh; accessible literary fiction and reading group novels, high-concept crime fiction and thrillers with a strong premise. On the non-fiction side: memoir, smart, funny feminists, lifestyle, social justice and a little bit of cookery. Open to anything with a strong, original voice. She has a thing for spy novels and would love to find a great vampire story. She also encourages submissions from writers who have been traditionally under-represented. Submissions to: diana@marjacq.com She receives a high volume of submissions and cannot reply individually or offer feedback unless you become a client. If you haven't received a response 12 weeks after you have submitted material please assume that she won't be able to offer you representation. Diana's authors |
