Associate Agent

Tom graduated in English Literature and Linguistics from the University of Nottingham, after which he spent some time managing bookshops before moving into publishing as a sales representative for Bloomsbury and then PenguinRandomHouse. He was the sales director at Vintage for twelve years, where he worked with some brilliant prize winning and commercial authors including established writers such as Margaret Atwood, Rose Tremain, Julian Barnes, Anne Enright, Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, Michael Ondaatje, Ian McEwan and Nigella Lawson. Tom also helped establish the commercial success of Yuval Harari, Ocean Vuong, Edmund De Waal, Helen Macdonald, Ottessa Moshfegh, Richard Flanagan, Neel Mukherjee, Jo Nesbo, Abir Mukherjee, Merlin Sheldrake and Rukmini Iyer.
Inspired by his work with agents and authors, in 2021 Tom “crossed over” and joined DHH as an Associate Agent and is starting to build a client list across fiction and non-fiction.

Tom is not looking for screenplays, short story / novellas, children's books / YA or Sci-Fi/Fantasy.
