Welcome To Jacaranda Agency
Who We Are
Jacaranda is a boutique literary agency working out of Singapore, India, and the UK. We represent a diverse list of fiction and non-fiction from across Asia, and in particular a growing list of fiction from South East Asia. Our list includes authors from Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Taiwan. We also represent many authors from further afield, including from the US, UK, Kenya, and Australia, making us a truly international agency. However, it is always the quality of the writing that drives us rather than geographical location
Our fiction list is varied and eclectic, representing a mix of both established and debut authors. We specialise in literary fiction, good quality commercial fiction, women’s writing, crime and fantasy. In recent years we have built a small but growing list of translated fiction from across South East Asia, and we now also represent a small number of translators.
Our non-fiction list comprises narrative non-fiction, spanning memoir, travel writing, health & well-being, self-help and business. We also love to take on unique books about unusual subjects that catch our imagination!
