The Team

Silé Edwards

Agent
UK, US

Silé began her career at the Publishers Association, supporting their campaigns and communication functions. She then moved to Curtis Brown as an assistant in the Book Department, where she supported deals for an extensive and eclectic list of clients before joining a boutique agency where she built a list of her own, brokering deals for debut novelists, content creators and experts writing commercial non fiction books on their specialty.

Silé joined Andrew Nurnberg Associates in 2022, bringing with her the dynamic list of authors she’d built in just two years including debut author Kuchenga, writer-activists Natalie and Naomi Evans, co-founders of EverydayRacism, architect and TV presenter Laura Jane Clark, birthing coach Illiyin Morrison and food-writer Denai Moore. Silé was named a Trailblazer by London Book Fair in 2021 for her passion, dedication, resilience and commitment to her authors and is also a trustee for award-winning mentoring charity Arts Emergency.

Silé is looking for books that inform our understanding of the world, society and the ways we live. She is interested in a range of Non-Fiction from emotive life writing to topical essay-like writing to projects on cookery and food. She is particularly keen on finding experts in their field who want to write about what they know in a way that everyone can understand, appreciate and enjoy.

With fiction, what she is after can be catagorised by her desire to ask what if. She is easily taken in by incisive, witty and astute novels which balance of emotion and threat, and fun, escapist romantic reads. She is a self-professed fan of a moral dilemma, particularly those concerning love, murder or both.

Silé is not the right agent for you if you are writing for children and/or the YA market, or if you are working on Historical Fiction, Science Fiction or Fantasy novels for adults.
