Victoria Birkett

Victoria Birkett joined the agency in March 2009 as Associate Agent. She spent her formative years in publishing at Andersen Press and, after several years of running rights departments for Heinemann Young Books and HarperCollins Children’s Books, Victoria joined Scholastic UK. During her ten-year tenure, she was Buying Director for Scholastic’s clubs and fairs and then became Editorial Director for Scholastic Book Clubs and Red House.

Victoria writes: “My experience, of selecting and developing books to sell directly to children and their parents, is invaluable in the search for the most exciting projects. We offer publishers high quality proposals confident that the projects will inspire and entertain children and encourage them to read. What better gift for a child than the ability to escape into a book?”

“Being with Miles Stott is being with a small and friendly yet professional team. The Agency’s knowledge of world rights has brokered deals from China to the Faroe Islands. My agent Victoria is always ready to answer my questions, from the nitty gritty of a book contract, to what to wear for that all important publisher’s party.”
