The Cameron Creswell Agency, the first independent literary agency established in Australia, represents a wide range of authors of literary and commercial fiction and non-fiction.

Many of our client authors, including Roger McDonald (Mr Darwin's Shooter), Don Watson (Death Sentence, Dictionary of Weasel Words), Aboriginal author Ruby Langford Ginibi (Don't Take Your Love to Town) and Peter Corris (Cliff Hardy PI series) have been with the agency since its inception 25 years ago.

In 2007 there have been new books from Emily Ballou (Aphelion, Picador), Trevor Shearston (Dead Birds, ABC Books), Dr Cindy Pan (Playing Hard to Get with Bianca Dye, HarperCollins, March) and Vanessa Woods (It's Every Monkey for Themselves, Allen & Unwin, March) , and we're looking forward to the next one from Dr Karl Kruszelnicki (HarperCollins, November) and Peter Corris (although we can't reveal whether Cliff Hardy keeps his job!), as well as Donald and Myfanwy Horne's Dying A Memoir (Penguin, September). This year has also seen first books from new authors Aaron Blabey (Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley, Viking Penguin, August), Holly Hill (Sugarbabe, Random House, June), James Jeffrey (Paprika Paradise, Hachette, August) and Mohamed Khadra (Making the Cut, Random House, September), and there will be a new edition of Charles Massy's master work The Australian Merino (Random House, November).
