O’Grady and de Pass promoted to agents at The Soho Agency
Niamh O’Grady and Marina de Pass have both been promoted to agents at The Soho Agency.
De Pass represents commercial, book-club and literary fiction and has just concluded a 12-way auction for her first non-fiction project One Pot, One Portion by Eleanor Wilkinson (Ebury).
Other highlights include Carole Hailey’s BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick The Silence Project (Corvus) and Joanna Miller’s debut The Bee Orchids, pre-empted by Fig Tree just ahead of the book fair and already sold in a number of international territories.
O’Grady is currently focusing on narrative non-fiction, book-club and accessible literary fiction, with a focus on Irish and northern talent. Recent highlights include journalist Jennie Agg’s book on miscarriage, Life, Almost (Transworld) and contemporary coming-of-age novel Water Baby by Chioma Okereke (Quercus). She continues to work alongside Alice Saunders on behalf of TSA’s speakers.
TSA managing director Rowan Lawton said: "Marina and Niamh have been developing really distinctive and impressive client lists. They are invaluable members of our team and we are really excited to see what happens next.”
