Pippa Masson

Head of Agents & Agent

Pippa has worked at Curtis Brown for 25 years, currently as a Senior Agent and Head of Agents. Her authors include best-selling ABIA, Davitt, Premier’s Literary Awards and Ned Kelly award-winners, and those who have sold in multiple territories and had their books adapted for screen.

She represents adult fiction that sits neatly in the sweet spot: books with a meaty plot that are beautifully written with big themes and an engaging voice. Crime and thriller authors, especially fast paced and hooky psychological thrillers that keep you up reading late into the night, are a firm favourite. Historical fiction, on the more literary side, that shines a spotlight on women who have not had their stories told, or are thought of as outcasts, also feature on Pippa’s list. In non-fiction, she loves memoir that can sit in the hybrid space – books that teach and inspire us or help to change your life – or platform-driven self-development with a clear and accessible message. Pippa also represents children’s books, with a special focus on author/illustrator picture book creators, and classic and returnable middle-grade.

A few books Pippa has loved and wished she’d represented: The Wedding People by Alison Espach, Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, The Names by Florence Knapp, Lonely Mouth by Jacqueline Maley, None of This is True by Lisa Jewell, Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy, Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood, The Happiest Manon Earth by Eddie Jaku, I'm Glad My Mom Died by Janette McCurdy, Matilda by Roald Dahl, Magic Beach by Alison Lester and many, many more!
