Welcome to our website. ​

The Richford Becklow Agency was founded in 2012 by Lisa Eveleigh,  who is the primary agent, working with specialist sub-agents for translation, US and film rights.  She has a degree in English Literature from the University of Durham and a Masters in Biography from the University of East Anglia.. 


 Lisa first worked at the BBC, and her publishing career took off in 1986, when she joined A P Watt Ltd, the world's first literary agency.  ​Authors she worked with include Sir Michael Holroyd, Frederic Raphael Jan Morris, Graham Swift, Sir Quentin Blake and Tony Parsons.

She was the first agent to recognise the novel-writing talents of the late - and very much missed - Helen Dunmore and Philip Kerr.

Lisa also first spotted bestselling literary novelist Joseph O'Connor in the
A P Watt inbox and when consulting for Pollinger Ltd., she edited the first novel by Kimberly Chambers, who has since had several No 1 b
estsellers.

Lisa is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and The Biographer's Club and she served as a committee member for the Association of Author's Agents between 2004 and 2006.
