Duvert joins The Clegg Agency

Marion Duvert, previously senior editor at Editions du Seuil in Paris, is set to become foreign rights director at The Clegg Agency.

Duvert was in charge of foreign fiction at Editions du Seuil, where she edited Max Porter, Nell Zink and John Wray, among others. Before that, she was associate director of foreign rights at Farrar, Straus & Giroux. In addition to her foreign rights responsibilities, Duvert will bring authors and projects to The Clegg Agency.

Bill Clegg said: "I have long admired Marion’s dedication to authors and exceptional work guiding literature into translation.  She is also one of the most insightful and passionate readers I’ve ever met. I can’t imagine a better gift I could give the authors represented at The Clegg Agency than the opportunity to work with Marion.”

Duvert added: "In less than two years, The Clegg Agency has become one of the most prominent literary agencies, both in the US and internationally. Not only are the agency's authors remarkably gifted, but the team there is impressive--creative, brilliant, engaged. It truly is an honour to join forces with such a dynamic group of people, and to dedicate my energy to such outstanding literary talents."
