Ben Dunn

Ben Dunn is a literary agent, with nearly 30 years’ publishing experience. 

Ben has built up a select list of authors, and is working with them in the UK, internationally and, where relevant, for film and TV. He also works with a number of talent agencies, helping artists with their book projects.

Prior to setting us his own agency with Jack, he was a publisher between 1995 and 2018, working at HarperCollins, 4th Estate, Hodder, and latterly as managing director at Bonnier Books, and publishing director at Century/Arrow, during 6 years at Penguin Random House. 

He has worked with many high-profile authors, winning the British Book Awards, Book of The Year, and being nominated for Imprint of the Year twice.

I am happy to consider submissions in the following areas:  

Fiction: crime/thriller, reading group, sci-fi, issue-led women’s fiction.

Non-fiction: Memoir, narrative-led non-fiction, media tie-in (TV, Radio, Social Media, Podcast), pop-science, and big ideas.
