Amber Caravéo
It all started when Amber went to work for Working Partners far too many years ago, and realized that working creatively with authors to produce wonderful books for children was all she ever wanted to do! She was lucky enough to work on many exciting and successful series, including The Lady Grace Mysteries, My Sister the Vampire, Heartland, Vampire Beach and the million-copy-selling phenomenon, Rainbow Magic.
Amber and Joanna first met when working on a middle-grade adventure series together, Talisman, which Amber developed while she was at Working Partners and Joanna published while she was at Hodder Children’s Books.
Amber now uses her experience to support talented children’s authors, and build happy and successful relationships between writers and publishers.

Joanna Moult
She left Simon & Schuster to have children and spent over a year living in India and editing an ex-pat magazine. On her return to the UK, aside from nurturing her own readers-of-the-future, she became Editorial Director for Children’s Fiction at literary agents Mulcahy Conway Associates, where she worked to seek out new talent and edit submissions to publishers.
Having been inspired by this experience and bitten by the bug of discovering great new voices in children’s books, becoming a children’s literary agent and setting up Skylark with Amber was a natural next step.
