About The Bright Agency
Since our debut in 2003 in London, The Bright Agency has championed talent in children’s publishing, and as our creatives’ work has flourished, so too has our wheelhouse, expanding what we can offer and how we build brilliant careers for talented creatives.
Creativity never stops, and neither do we. Today, we operate across Publishing, Design and Advertising, Greetings & Gift, Film & TV, and Licensing, giving our authors and artists more opportunities, wider reach, and greater commercial potential than ever before.
We represent the talents of Benji Davies (author-illustrator of The Storm Whale series, and winner of the first-ever Oscar’s Book Prize), David Litchfield (creator of The Bear and the Piano), and Yasmeen Ismail, as well as CBeebies Rebecca Keatley, Chris Chatterton, Fiona Woodcock, and Gareth Conway.
Our agents are internationally recognised, with multiple award wins and nominations, including being shortlisted for Literary Agent of the Year on multiple occasions. Our Agency is the expert in developing careers, taking graduates to world-renowned, celebrated creatives.
“Launching this Substack so we can give the up-and-coming authors and illustrators of the world key tips and tools to help them succeed, built on over 20 years of being one of the most successful literary agencies, is a testament to the hard work of our creatives and agents in our history.”
