Annette Green
Annette Green is a British literary agent who established her own business, Annette Green Authors' Agency, in 1998. Having previously worked for the agency A M Heath, she had learned every aspect of agenting, and set AbOUT building her client list. Her early successes included the novelists Bill Broady, Maria McCann and Justin Hill as well as the American children's author Meg Cabot.
By 2001 her one-woman business had become more than she could manage on her own, so her future husband David Smith, then training as a lawyer, gave up his city job and joined the agency.
