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.
Specifically, Emily is looking for female-led commercial and reading-group novels, as well as diverse / own voices, with an emphasis on crime / thriller (not political or environmental & very little police procedural), upmarket commercial women's fiction with a unique hook, epic love stories, post-eighteenth century history (though will make an exception for the Kings and Queens of England & Scotland throughout all ages), and gothic novels / ghost stories. Emily is drawn to the dark and stories that are a little bit "messed up".
Authors similar to what Emily is looking for would be: Abi Daré, Kiley Reid, Daisy Buchanan, Amy Engel, Mhairi McFarlane, Greer Hendricks / Sarah Pekkanen, Raven Leilani and Celeste Ng.
Emily is not looking for screenplays, short story / novellas, non-fiction, children's books / YA or Sci-Fi.
Submissions: Please email a one-page synopsis, and the first three chapters of your book, to eg.submission@dhhliteraryagency.com
