Emily Glenister
Literary Agent
P.A. to David H Headley
|
Emily Glenister trained to be an actress at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, graduating in 2010 before working as an agent and agent's assistant in offices that represented the likes of Charlotte Rampling, Sir Roger Moore, Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow.
In 2020, after assisting David Headley for four years in all aspects of the agency, Emily was made an Associate Agent, before becoming an Agent at the tail-end of 2021.
Emily is looking for female-led commercial and book club fiction, with an emphasis on diverse / own voices. A gripping psychological thriller or a clever crime book will always grab the attention (though Emily takes on very little police procedural); as will a witty and observant rom-com, an epic love story, historical fiction with a focus on women, modern retellings of classics / myths / legends (again, with women at the centre). Concept-led mysteries - whether historical or contemporary - are also very high on the wish list and if an original horror novel / ghost story landed in her inbox, she would be delighted. Emily's favourite authors include Abi Daré, Sarah Pekkanen & Greer Hendricks, Celeste Ng, Jessie Burton, Nikky May, Amy Engel and Daisy Buchanan.
In non-fiction, Emily is keen to expand her list and is looking in the areas of history (specifically the monarchy, medicine and women), pop culture, biographies / autobiographies / memoir and true crime.
Emily is not looking for screenplays, short story / novellas, children's books / YA or Sci-Fi.
