The Greenhouse Interview

WriteWords talks to Julia Churchill of literary agency The Greenhouse
Tell us all about the agency- ethos, list etc
The Greenhouse is a literary agency with a difference.
We exclusively represent and manage the careers of authors writing fiction for children, from young chapter-book series through to middle-grade novels to sophisticated teen fiction.
The Greenhouse aims to nurture and grow to full maturity
the talent of exceptional writers. It’s all in the name!
I am based in London and represent UK based authors and Sarah Davies is in the US and represents North American authors. With our transatlantic approach, Greenhouse is in an unequalled position to find the very best market for our authors - on whichever continent that may be.
What excites you in a manuscript submission?
A story that’s conceptually strong, a great character, a hook in a first line, an original turn of phrase. Tonnes of things! People sometimes say “How can you tell if it’s good”. Actually that’s the easiest thing. You just can’t stop reading – and I reckon my heart rate goes up by about 20% when that happens!
Who are your favourite writers and why?
Judy Blume because she got it so right. Steven King because he’s so scary. I’ve got broad taste in children’s books. Julie Hearn, Captain Underpants, The Spook’s Apprentice books, Stephenie Meyer, Young Bond. These are books I’ve read and liked in the last few months. Favourite book ever is probably The Count of Monte Christo. I read it every few years and it keeps getting better.

I agree, health apps are very useful. Now I try to monitor my health as carefully as possible. I eat healthy healthy food and try to stress as little as possible. I recently found a great site https://westcoastbud.io/product/gas-gang-vape-pen/ that has a lot of great stress relief products and I decided to give it a try. I can say that cbd gummies are a great mental health solution.

The Greenhouse Interview was really insightful, offering a fresh perspective on sustainable practices. It's a reminder of how important it is to be prepared, not just in gardening, but in all aspects of life. For instance, having a reliable Generator is crucial during power outages, and if it breaks down, Small Engine Repair of NYC is there to help with quick and reliable service.

The Greenhouse Interview was super insightful! Hearing about different techniques for sustainable gardening got me thinking about my own yard. Sometimes, it feels like my trees are taking over! I recently reached out to a local arborist in Rosemead, CA, and it’s been a game changer. They took care of everything from branch trimming to stump removal. It’s amazing how much more open my yard feels now.
