Edwards swaps Mushens Entertainment for Andrew Nurnberg Associates
Literary agent Silé Edwards has left Mushens Entertainment to join Andrew Nurnberg Associates (ANA) ahead of the Frankfurt Book Fair, which she will attend together with the rest of the team.
Edwards, who joined Mushens Entertainment in 2020 from an assistant role at Curtis Brown, has worked on deals including Sally El-Arifi’s Little Book of Bananas (HQ), Yewande Biala’s Reclaiming (Hodder), The Mixed Race Experience by the co-founders of EverydayRacism, Natalie and Naomi Evans (Square Peg), and digital bestseller Love, Wine, and Other Highs by Lauren Rae (Little A).
At ANA, she will continue to build her own list of authors with a particular focus on perspectives that have been historically excluded from the mainstream.
She joins with her existing list and will work alongside the primary agenting team of Jenny Savill, Michael Dean, Charlotte Merritt and Rory Clarke, who are all assisted by Saskia Willis, and publishing apprentice Eleanor Smith, who started at the agency last month.
Savill, m.d. of ANA London, said: “Silé has already achieved so much as an agent in a relatively short space of time. Her energy, passion for the business and ability to spot and acquire writing talent is clear, and I couldn’t be happier to welcome her to ANA.”
Edwards commented: “I’m absolutely delighted to join the team at ANA, from my first conversation with Jenny I knew that it was a match made. I am really looking forward to continuing to work closely with my existing authors and to build my list further. Over the past two years I have been incredibly privileged to sell work by authors writing across cookery, literary memoir, historical biography, zeitgeisty fiction and terrifyingly addictive thriller, and I’m excited to keep nurturing new voices and books that will make the world better and brighter.”
She added: “I’m thrilled to be part of this richly talented and kind team and am so honoured to be learning from, contributing to and helping to shape the next chapter at ANA.”
