Jojo Moyes on Joanna Frank

“Jo (Frank) was my first agent. She was never ‘just’ an agent, but also a friend, editor, guide and reassuring voice always at the end of a phone. She was not afraid of telling me when my words could be improved, but my greatest supporter when she thought I’d got it right. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.”

Jojo Moyes

Author of Me Before You, The One Plus One and nine other novels
