Julia Churchill joined the Greenhouse in January 2009.
Based in London, England, her job is to further develop the UK/Commonwealth side of the agency, so if you live in Great Britain, Ireland. Australia/New Zealand or Europe you should submit work to her (see Greenhouse submission guidelines for more information).
Julia began her career in books in the Press office of Sheldrake Press. In 2002 she started work at the Darley Anderson Literary, TV and Film Agency in London as a Personal Assistant, and was appointed Agency Manager in 2004. The following year she became Associate Agent, specializing in children's books.
Here Julia founded her reputation as a talent-spotter and deal-maker and developed the agency's prestigious children's books list, finding and selling a number of debut authors, several of whom went on to appear on awards shortlists. She also handled subsidiary rights for both the children's and adult sides of the agency.
Julia has a ceaseless enthusiasm for the treasure hunt of the submissions pile and can often be found in the cafes of West London, working through a pile of manuscripts. She regularly attends British writers' events and is on the lookout for both new and established authors with storytelling magic. She is a member of SCBWI UK.
