Carolyn works as a literary agent at the May Literary Agency and describes herself as a publicist-turned-agent. She says her background in publicity gives her an understanding of what makes the book trade take notice. The agency's clients page lists Julie Farrell as a client, describing her as an author and poet based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
When her submissions window is open, Carolyn wants to hear stories that encourage empathy and hope. She is also drawn to work that champions new perspectives. This is set out on the agency's get-in-touch page, which is where the submissions guidance appears.
At the time of checking (November 2026), the agency's submissions window was closed, according to its get-in-touch page. The same page says she is keen to hear stories while the window is open. Contact details are on the agency's website.
