“Kate is a dedicated, sharp and energetic agent.”

 

Anna Stuart writes internationally acclaimed and bestselling novels about World War II which have sold four million copies worldwide.

They’re all published by Bookouture in the English language and are Kindle bestsellers. They have also been sold into nineteen translation territories and her most successful title to date, The Midwife of Auschwitz, was France’s second biggest selling book of 2024.

Happy owner of a motorhome called Norman, Anna travels Europe with her husband researching the amazing untold stories of World War II, particularly those of the many bold, courageous women standing up for friends and families in the face of tyranny.

When she’s not away story-hunting, Anna lives in rural Derbyshire and loves walks, reading, and visiting her four children and two grandchildren.

She also writes medieval fiction as Joanna Courtney.

THE WRITER WHO MOST INSPIRED ANNA

Nick Hornby. I love his contemporary fiction with an engaging bite, about real people with all their flaws and foibles.


ANNA ABOUT KATE

Kate is a dedicated, sharp and energetic agent and I’m hugely thankful to have her at my back.


KATE ABOUT ANNA

Anna’s 2WW historical novels are a perfect mixture of thrilling, heartbreaking and uplifting.  Based on her brilliant research and inspired by real lives, she creates characters and stories that feel so real to us.  While often writing about the very worst of times - the horrors of war and the Holocaust - Anna always finds and celebrates humanity, love and the human spirit of survival.

Anna is also a writing dynamo! She works so hard for her readers that sometimes I think she must have an identical twin co-writer!

We’ve worked together for years and I consider myself incredibly lucky to be her agent and friend.
