Welcome

Margaret Kennedy Agency is a full service literary agency in Brisbane, Australia, representing general non-fiction, a limited range of fiction, and high quality children’s literature. It is a small agency by design. Margaret Kennedy works with each writer at all stages right from the start, and steadily builds up authors’ careers over years in a climate of cooperative partnership. The professional rapport she establishes with authors is based on honest opinion and trust, and many prominent writers have been with the agency since it began in 1996.

General non-fiction is a vast territory and many subject areas are considered. Areas of special interest are biography; current affairs and social issues; language, philosophy, religion and science; history; food and wine; and Australia and the Pacific.

Contemporary, literary fiction receives high priority and general and historical fiction is sometimes of interest. Fiction not represented includes fantasy and science fiction, chick lit and chook lit, horror and erotica.

The submission of children’s picture books, chapter books and teen and YA literature, including non-fiction, is welcomed from established writers.
