Literary Agents of the Year Becky Brown & Norah Perkins on why authors must think about their wills!

Becky Brown and Norah Perkins are both literary agents with a twist - they founded and head up Curtis Brown's Heritage section, meaning that they represent the estates of authors such as AA Milne, Iris Murdoch and many more. They also recently won Literary Agent of the Year at the British Book Awards 2024 for their pioneering work in this field.
We had a fascinating chat with Becky and Norah about how they got started in this field, and learned about the differences (and similarities) with the "normal" world of agenting. We also chatted about why all authors with published works should think about their posthumous rights.

This was eye opening and informative. When you think of wills you think of who’s getting the house, the car, etc, but this aspect is so important because it’s your legacy. Thanks so much. And congratulations to Becky and Nora🎉
