BookBlast writers' agency, was founded by Georgia de Chamberet in 1997 to showcase new or neglected writers and world writing. Notable clients have included Jamika Ajalon, Rupert Bogarde, Aamer Hussein, Mounsi and Onyekachi Wambu, editor of Empire Windrush: Fifty Years of Writing About Black Britain. THE BOOKSELLER referred to the anthology as being "ground-breaking, tracking how black men and women have made Britain their own". ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

XCiTés: the Flamingo Book of New French Writing, edited by Chamberet, features writing by 15 writers under 40 who were unknown in English when the book was published in 2000 — Frédéric Beigbeder, Tonino Benacquista, Virginie Despentes, Michel Houellebecq, Abdourahman Waberi among them.

The agency was one of the first in the UK to adopt online technology — bookblast.com went live in 2000. In March 2015 the site was selected by the University Of Oxford the curators of Bodleian Electronic Archives and Manuscripts, Bodleian Libraries, Oxford, as being of lasting research value and worthy of permanent preservation in the Web Archive of the Bodleian Libraries. ^[5] ^[6]

Today the agency handles the negotiation and administration of intellectual property rights for the estates of Lesley Blanch (1904-2007) in association with United Agents, Professor George Elton Mayo (1880–1949) and Gael Elton Mayo (1923-1992). The agency also offers editing and mentoring services, and translation services with a focus on France. Boutique digital imprint, BookBlast ePublishing was launched in 2014 and The BookBlast Diary in 2015. ^[7] ^[8] Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
