Olivia Davies

Olivia is looking for bold voices and stories that evoke feeling. She reads and represents a broad range of fiction and remains fundamentally curious as to how writers can open life to new perspectives. 

In non-fiction, she enjoys being guided by a warm, expert voice through topics such as history, religion, war, art, literary criticism, travel, pop culture, and food. More specifically, she's often drawn to personal narratives which upend monolithic constructions of cultural or national identity such as Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann, A Stranger in Your Own City by Ghaith Abdul-Ahad and Red Memory by Tania Branigan. 

 
Olivia enjoys seeking out new opportunities for the distinguished Literary Estates she represents, uncovering forgotten classics and working with publishers to find new audiences to further a legacy.  She works on a select number of illustrated books for adults and welcomes a fun gift book project. 

Submission guidance: for novels, please email with a synopsis and 10,000 words.  For non-fiction, if you are an expert in your field, it's fine to contact her at an earlier stage of development.
