Agent details

I started working with Simon Trewin at PFD in 2006 and continue to work alongside him as an Associate Agent, but I am also now nurturing my own client list.

One of the joys of working in a literary agency is the range of books you can work on and I enjoy reading from a wide selection of genres. I want books that make me sit up and take notice of them, whether it be through beautiful prose, a hugely original idea or, at their best, books which make me sob.

I am on the lookout for anything which is extremely well-written, but in particular: reading group books; young adult novels; historical fiction; those in the crime and thriller genre, exciting non-fiction and anything, like The Lovely Bones or The Night Circus, which breaks the mould.

For submissions please email me the first 10,000 words of your manuscript, together with a synopsis at afeiner@unitedagents.co.uk.
