Literary Agent: Eugenie Furniss

Lucy Jago’s debut adult novel, A Net For Small Fishes, is based on one of the most significant scandals in British history. Described as the Thelma and Louise of the seventeenth century, it received universal critical acclaim on publication in 2021. It sold at auction to Bloomsbury in the UK and, at the London Book Fair in 2019, to Flatiron in the US. Her first book, The Northern Lights, is an account of Norwegian polar scientist, Kristen Birkland's, discovery of the causes of the aurora borealis. It won the National Biography prize and has been translated into eight languages. She has also written a YA novel, Montacute House, about witchcraft during the reign of Elizabeth I. Lucy is currently writing her next novel for Bloomsbury. Lucy is a Fellow of the Royal Literary Society.
