Literary Agent Nicola Barr is looking for oddballs, dysfunctional or unusual families, women struggling and women achieving, the disenfranchised, outsiders. She enjoys stories that explore the darker side of life, but do respond well to points of view that don’t take the world too seriously. As a committed Londoner, she is actively looking to build on the brilliant Irish, Northern Irish and Scottish authors she already represents. She has a natural tendency to be drawn to working-class voices and regional stories. She finds herself increasingly drawn to non-fiction that allows for a collective vent.

Recently, Nicola Barr Literary Agent has represented books by Lauren Duca, John Grindrod, Danielle Henderson, Alix O’Neill, Owen Hatherley—on feminism, housing, millennials, sexual harassment, Europe. She loves illustrators and cartoonists. She also likes sport and comedy and might even show an interest in a food blog, as long as it doesn’t mention cupcakes.
