Zoe Pagnamenta, who for a number of years ran the New York office of PFD, has left to set up her own company - The Zoë Pagnamenta Agency, LLC and she will, in her own words, ‘continue to handle literary fiction and a broad range of non-fiction by writers from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond’. She represents a number of authors on my list including Catherine Banner, John Boyne, Petite Anglaise, Claire Kilroy, Fiona Neill and Beatrice Colin and we will no doubt have some exciting collaborations in the years ahead.

Pagnamenta said. “I appreciate all the support I have received from clients, editors, and fellow agents as I embark on this step, and I look forward to the challenges and fulfilment of being an independent agent.”
