Anna Power is the MD of Johnson & Alcock and looks after a diverse list of authors of fiction and narrative non-fiction. With over 20 years’ agenting experience, she enjoys discovering and working with emerging talent, as well as guiding established, bestselling writers.

In fiction, Anna is looking for literary, book club and historical novels, suspense, crime and romance.  Whatever the genre, she looks for a distinctive and compelling voice, and worldbuilding that immerses the reader. She is drawn especially to a moral dilemma, stories about families and relationships, and novels that combine darkness and humour. She is also interested in graphic novels that appeal to a crossover readership.

In non-fiction, Anna invites submissions of history, memoir, current affairs, cultural criticism, popular science, psychology and food writing; proposals that communicate an author’s passion in an inventive and inspiring way.  She welcomes approaches from experts with new and surprising takes on their subject, which alter the way we think about and engage with the world.

Anna welcomes email submissions and can be contacted on anna@johnsonandalcock.co.uk
