‘Emily is such a joy to work with. She really took the time to listen and understand my vision, then used her expertise to help me create a proposal that was far better than anything I could hope to do on my own. Her knowledge of the publication process, and contacts in the publishing world, helped me to find the publisher that was right for me. She’s been there every step of the way to drive the process and guide me. Her input and enthusiasm gives me confidence that my book will be a success.’ - Nicky Corbishley of Kitchen Sanctuary
‘I couldn't be happier to be represented by Emily. She really takes the time to build a relationship with her clients and to understand their vision and values, so I can be confident that when she is representing my work she is doing so with the same passion and ethos that I hold myself. Her editorial eye is spot-on, and her communication is swift and thorough. Nothing is too much trouble for her. It's hard to imagine an agent who cares more about her clients than Emily Sweet, and there is no one I would rather have by my side through my writing career.’ - N.J. Crosskey
‘Working with Emily is such a personal partnership – she is always ready to listen to ideas and give solid, grounding advice and guidance, both on a professional and personal level. And you matter as an individual – you really get a sense of being part of a family, which for me is invaluable. All the contacts and work expectations that I had have been met and far surpassed, and I look forward to the many years ahead and what we can accomplish together.’ - Joe Woodhouse
‘Having Emily as my literary agent is like having a therapist, advisor, fixer and bodyguard all rolled into one. I know she always has my back in deal negotiations and on-going relationships with publishers, and with three book deals now under our belts she's seen me through from nervous debut to seasoned author - with plenty of laughs along the way!' - Fliss Chester
‘It wasn't until I worked with Emily that I discovered what a truly collaborative relationship it is. Emily has a way about her that makes you feel confident as a writer, not only is she extremely approachable and friendly, she is an astute editor and well connected in the industry. I know that Emily is the agent I'd like to see my career grow with. I believe that having that personal relationship with an agent like Emily paves the path to a more rewarding career as an author.’ - Sumayya Usmani
‘I met Emily just at the time when I was contemplating venturing into the world of literary non-fiction, after having spent three decades writing academic books. I did not know what to expect but I probably had an image of literary agents as being rather impatient mercenary characters who might drop you at a moment’s notice. Emily confounded all my stereotypes. From the moment we met she greeted my ideas with openness and enthusiasm and took time to guide and accompany me through different stages of the writing and publication process.
‘Working with her has been an absolute pleasure. It feels like having a writing companion for the first time. A person I can trust, who cares about my books almost as much as I do and who knows them inside out. I have a huge respect for Emily’s judgement. She has found great publishers for the two books I have written since meeting her and has been consistently supportive in numerous ways. I cannot recommend her highly enough professionally and humanly.’ - Emma Tarlo
‘As a new prospective author, Emily brought transparency and clarity to what can be a very opaque and hard to navigate experience. I am wholly satisfied she represented my best interests and secured a fantastic book deal for me. I look forward to continued collaboration.’ - Philip Khoury
‘The title “agent” might usually conjure up an image of someone who’s efficient, creative, well connected and hopefully driven on one’s behalf to help forge a path through the often confusing world of publishing. Emily is all these things, but also she’s an enthusiast! To have her on my side, gently guiding me as a new author, has been a godsend.’ - Anna Koska
