WHAT TOP AGENTS SAY


What top literary agents are saying about TJ Blinko's work:


Sonia Land, CEO of Sheil-Land Associates/ former CEO of Harper Collins:
  • 'It is always an added joy to meet someone with multifaceted talent. I am convinced that (from my perspective, of course) we could work together towards making you a successful bestseller in all media.'


Jonathan Pegg, after 12 years as a Senior Agent at Curtis Brown, Jonathan has established the Jonathan Pegg Literary Agency and represents TJ Blinko:

  • 'I thoroughly enjoyed Magic-Eye. The idea of making ‘magic eye’ puzzles actually magical is brilliant, alongside the exploration of Quin’s catalepsy. I think you realise the clever other-world portal successfully, and your use of the mirror-world to explore Quin's relationship with his father is interesting. So the novel is full of hooks, but it’s also stylistically assured. I liked the abundance of lively similes, the touches of humour (never overdone), the kids' friendships and rivalries, and the way Quin’s intuition is tested by Peregrine’s chameleon qualities. It all strikes me as being original whilst keying into established fashions for both emotional realism and imaginative mysticism. A great read!'






Veronique Baxter, Literary Agent at David Higham Associates:



  • 'I've spent the afternoon reading your book and I've been bowled over by the ideas and energy I found contained; it's a highly engrossing and entertaining read.'




Suzy Jenvey, former Head of Children’s Books at Faber and Faber:

  • 'I think this is extraordinary and beautifully conceived. I would be thrilled to work with you.'
