Claire Wilson

Literary Agent
Director
Claire Wilson joined RCW Literary Agency in 2007, having previously worked in publishing sales and rights, and became a director in 2015. She now looks after an eclectic list of prizewinning and bestselling children’s, YA and adult authors. She is always open to submissions, and on the adult side is particularly seeking book club and commercial women’s fiction. Across both the adult and the children’s side of her list she is drawn to strong voices, compelling concepts, and humour.
Claire is currently the Vice-President of the Association of Authors’ Agents. She was shortlisted for the British Book Awards: Literary Agent of the Year in 2023.
Claire's submissions should be sent to her assistant via email, with a one page synopsis, a brief bio, and the first three chapters.
Her assistant is Safae El-Ouahabi at safae@rcwlitagency.com.
