Alex Cochran has joined Greyhound Literary as a literary agent, after spending 13 years at Conville & Walsh (C&W). He started out first as an assistant, then as translation rights agent and a primary agent.
Cochran’s client list covers a range of genres, from literary fiction, science fiction and fantasy, crime and thriller and book club to serious non-fiction.
Cochran said: “After many wonderful years at C&W, I’m delighted to bejoining the brilliant team at Greyhound Literary. I’ve long admired the agency Charlie and Sam have built and the breadth of talented writers they represent, and I am looking forward to working with such an impressive and dynamic group of agents.”
Greyhound Literary rights director Sam Edenborough said: “All of us at Greyhound are excited to have Alex join us. His list is bright with treasures. As someone who loves speculative fiction, I’m especially eager to read more of his writers’ work.”
Charlie Campbell, Greyhound Literary founder, said: “Alex has built a very impressive list in a relatively short space of time. He was trained by the best – Conville & Walsh launched so many great careers, both for writers and agents. I am so pleased he is joining our crack team at Greyhound and look forward to working with him and his authors.”
