Caitlan Cooper-Trent,
Associate Agent
Caitlan started her career at Sydney University Press and moved to Curtis Brown in 2016, where she has been lucky enough to work with authors such as Hannah Kent and Zoe Foster Blake.
Now, Caitlan represents authors who have been in the Australian Top 10 for Non-Fiction, won the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction, the Steele Rudd Award, and the Josephine Ulrick National Poetry Prize, and have been shortlisted for the Blake Poetry Prize and the Glenda Adams Prize for New Writing. Her clients have also been recognized as Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Novelists and have won the ABC Short Story Prize.
Caitlan is drawn to literary and bookclub fiction that appeals to the intellect and the heart. She is partial to grounded thriller and horror. She enjoys a wide array of non-fiction that explores what it is to be in the world today - often about the stories we tell ourselves.
