Following a three-month search, Kate Nash Literary Agency has signed seven new writers it tips to be literary stars of tomorrow for the Agency’s 2024 BookCamp mentorship scheme.
488 entries were received for this year’s scheme which invited 20,000 words and an outline to be submitted, with every entry considered by the Agency’s agents.
Congratulations to the 2024 mentees, who are:
Amy Armitage-Reay
Victoria L. Humphreys
K.T. Jayne
Lorna Morrow
Patrick Ost
Anima Sahu
Helen Varley
BookCamp has launched the careers of eleven new authors since its inception in 2020 whose debut novels have gone to Avon (HarperCollins), Boldwood, Canelo, Headline, Hodderscape, HQ, Joffe, Moonflower Books, Orbit, Poolbeg and Storm Publishing.
“As a literary agency we are perfectly placed to nurture new talent and BookCamp allows us to spot that talent and help shape writer’s work from an earlier stage,” said Kate Nash. “As our Agency strapline says, tomorrow’s stories start today.”
Over a six month period these writers will be working, with individual editorial help from an agent, to complete their novels. At the same time the Agency is offering a series of online events on the practical business of being a new author.
