The McKernan Literary Agency & Consultancy

Lucy Bannerman is a reporter on The Times in London. She has worked on many high profile stories, including reports of modern day slavery in Mauritania, child trafficking in Benin and the rebel raids in northern Uganda.

She won the Young Journalist of the Year award in 2006 when she wrote for the Herald in Glasgow, principally for a piece that forced Scotland’s then first minister, Jack McConnell, into a policy U-turn by revealing that a much-vaunted aid package had denied funding to a prominent Scottish charity for its work in Malawi. She is currently at work on a non fiction proposal and a novel for young people.
