The Guardian profiles agent Ed Victor: "there was really just one literary agent to handle the most talked-about book of the year [Alastair Campbell's diaries] - Ed Victor, the only agent to have become an international celebrity in his own right."

Andrew 'the Jackal' Wylie is perhaps equally feared and revered in publishing circles, but Victor is the more visible, the name most often spotted in diary columns. A few years ago, he and his wife, Carol, were named second on Tatler's list of the most invited guests in London, just behind Elton John.
