Fiction Non-Fiction

I represent a wide range of fiction and non-fiction and a bit of poetry. I read English, German, and French. I have worked with authors such as Samantha Harvey, Sarah Moss, and David Szalay since the beginning of their careers, and it is a particular joy to see their work evolve and go from strength to strength. My authors have won or been nominated for all major prizes.

I am always on the lookout for new, exciting voices. I love books that challenge our understanding of form and genre and am particularly drawn to writing that is many-layered and nuanced and explores the possibilities of language.  I am drawn to novels that deal with memory and truth - or our understanding of truth - and I prefer moral ambiguity to moral absolutism. I like books that make me laugh or challenge my certainties. There is nothing like a good uncomfortable read from the likes of Ottessa Moshfegh to keep me on my toes. With some notable exceptions - Emily St John Mandel, to mention just one – I prefer novels that are set in the here and now.

In non-fiction, I love the overlooked and unexpected. No matter what the book is about, you will be able to draw me in by sharing your passion for and knowledge of your subject. I love to be guided by the intense gaze of a curious mind. I enjoy books that come at their subject at an angle and draw new and astonishing connections. I am particularly interested in books about art, the body, the mind, and the natural world.
