  • Greenhouse Literary Agency- YA and children`s fiction Q and A!
    by Anna Reynolds at 19:08 on 29 October 2013
    Polly Nolan of Greenhouse Literary Agency, who specialise in YA/children's books, has given us the lowdown here ; 'Unlike most agencies, Greenhouse knows how to edit.' Polly was Associate Publishing Director at Macmillan Children’s Books and still does some editing there, naming Frank Cottrell Boyce and Roddy Doyle among her writers. She tells us why she's 'a little jaded by futuristic dystopian first-person narratives for Young Adult readers . . .' but adds, 'Don’t panic: you don’t have to put every single one of your ideas into your first book! In my experience, every new writer feels that this is their only chance to put all their great ideas down on paper. It isn’t.' And more. Much, much more.
