Margaret Connolly has been a literary agent for
more than 25 years.
She began her working life as a lawyer, before being
approached to join Curtis Brown in the mid-1980s. She set up
her own agency in 1992.
Her client list includes many of Australia's most
distinguished novelists, poets, non-fiction authors,
film-makers, children's
writers and illustrators.
She works from a purpose-built office at home, with a view
in one direction over her garden and in the other of a
library Les Murray has compared to the Atheneum Club.
The rug outside her office, which once belonged to the
much-admired writer Kate Jennings, is now permanently
occupied by the recumbent form of a dog named Arthur.
