Selwa Anthony has had a successful career as a one of Australia's leading literary agents. Her father migrated to Australia from Lebanon in the 1920s.
'Selwa’s career began in the book section of a large department store in the 1960s. A decade later she was the retail and marketing manager in Sydney for a major book company, where she was the first manager to feature Australian books at the front of the store. During this time she also had her own radio book chat program, syndicated throughout Australia, and reviewed books on the Midday Movie Show with Bill Collins.'
