Jade Kavanagh and Rebeka Finch have been promoted at Darley Anderson Agency & Associates, expanding the agency’s space for romance, fantasy, crime and horror.
Both are stepping up from associate to literary agent. Kavanagh joined the agency in early 2020 from Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency as assistant to Camilla Bolton before quickly taking the step up to agenting. She signed on her first author, Holly Craig, who became an e-book bestselling writer. Kavanagh is building her list of crime, horror and suspense authors.
Finch joined DA in 2019 as assistant to Darley Anderson, supporting him across his list of brand authors. Now Finch is leading the agency’s growth in the romance and adult fantasy space, with a roster of new authors publishing in the coming months.

Calling all aspiring fantasy authors! Curtis Brown Creative (CBC) has opened its new online Writing Fantasy course for applications. Across nine weeks, fifteen students will learn from tutor Lucy Holland (pictured above) during lively Zoom teaching sessions, workshops and one-to-one tutorials.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Curtis Brown Creative to take writers deeper into the core elements of the genre,” said Lucy Holland. “We’ll be looking at worldbuilding on a character level, as well as ways in which fantasy can challenge us to write outside our direct experience. I’m also excited to cover popular subgenres like myth retellings & romantasy, and how to harness tropes to tell a compelling story.”
Students will also attend a special Zoom masterclass with Eliza Chan, author of the number one Sunday Times bestseller Fathomfolk, and her C&W literary agent Alexander Cochran.
