COMMITTED TO BRINGING PASSIONATE STORIES TO LIFE, BOTH IN PRINT AND ON SCREEN
Fox & Brown Literary and Film Agency was established in 2024 by Gabrielle Hudson, drawing upon her experience across publishing, writing and screenwriting. With a longstanding passion for storytelling, Gabrielle has developed extensive experience within the creative industries, working across different aspects of the publishing process and developing stories for both page and screen.
Her experience encompasses publishing, novel writing, ghostwriting, copy-editing, book cover design and screenplay writing, giving her an understanding of the many stages involved in developing an original idea into a professionally presented creative work. Her work in screenwriting has further broadened that experience, bringing together her knowledge of storytelling, character development and the different demands of literature and film.
Gabrielle has also travelled extensively throughout America, meeting and building relationships with publishers, writers, screenwriters and film producers. These experiences have provided valuable insight into the international publishing and film industries and strengthened her belief in the importance of collaboration, professional relationships and creating opportunities for new and emerging talent.
Having experienced the creative process from several perspectives, Gabrielle understands many of the challenges writers and filmmakers encounter when trying to develop their work and move forward professionally. She founded Fox & Brown to provide a supportive and professional environment in which writers and creatives can develop their ideas, strengthen their work and pursue opportunities within publishing and film.
The agency welcomes submissions from writers in the UK and internationally and has a particular interest in memoir, fiction and non-fiction, alongside projects with potential for development across different forms of storytelling.
Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Fox & Brown is situated within a city with a rich literary, artistic and filmmaking heritage. Belfast’s thriving creative community and growing reputation within film and television provide an inspiring home for an agency dedicated to discovering, developing and supporting writers and creative talent.

MEET THE FOX & BROWN TEAM

I have always cherished a deep love for writing. From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of words and storytelling, and that passion has continued to grow throughout my life. In 2001, I graduated from university with a BA (Hons), marking the beginning of a journey that would eventually lead me into the worlds of literature, publishing and film. Shortly after graduating, I embraced marriage and motherhood, dedicating much of my time to raising my family.
After several years, I returned to writing and began developing my experience within the literary and publishing world. Over the years, I have written novels, worked as a ghostwriter, undertaken copy-editing and contributed to the creative and practical processes involved in bringing books from an initial idea through to publication. My experience has also extended into book cover design, giving me an understanding of how both words and visual presentation come together to create a finished work.
My journey has taken me beyond the UK, including extensive travel throughout America, where I have had the opportunity to meet and connect with publishers, authors, screenwriters and film producers. These experiences have broadened my understanding of both the publishing and film industries and reinforced my belief in the importance of building meaningful creative relationships.
Through Fox and Brown, I aim to bring this experience together to create a nurturing, professional environment where creativity can flourish and emerging talent can develop. I understand that every writer begins with an idea and that turning that idea into something tangible requires not only creativity, but guidance, perseverance and the right support.
My love of storytelling, publishing and the creative industries has given me a genuine appreciation for the challenges and rewards of bringing stories to life. I am excited to continue that journey through Fox and Brown, supporting writers and creatives as they develop their work, find their voice and pursue their ambitions in literature and film.

A lifelong lover of music, I started playing the piano at the age of eight before going on to learn the clarinet and alto saxophone. I completed my musical grades through to Grade 8, studied A-level Music, and performed with the Harrogate Youth Jazz Orchestra, as well as playing at gigs and events throughout Harrogate and the surrounding area.
After beginning my working life in hospitality, I went on to build a 30-year career in the industry, developing strong communication, organisational and people skills along the way. Now ready for a new challenge, I’m excited to be making a career change and beginning my journey into publishing as a junior copy editor at Fox & Brown.
With a keen eye for detail, a love of language and a genuine interest in how words work, I’m currently studying a copy-editing course and looking forward to developing my skills within the publishing industry. I’m particularly excited to bring my attention to detail, curiosity and enthusiasm to my new role and to continue learning from the team.
