Nicola Chang
Nicola joined David Higham Associates in 2020 and represents prize-winning writers of literary and general fiction, non-fiction and poets. Her authors include Sara Ahmed, Raymond Antrobus, J. M. Coetzee, Jacqueline Crooks, Emma Glass, Gabriel Krauze, Saba Sams and Kae Tempest. Nicola is a recipient of the London Book Fair’s Trailblazer Award and a Bookseller Rising Star. Nicola responds first and foremost to original voices that challenge the idea of what a literary novel, and sentence, can do, as well as propulsive character-driven novels with intricate plots, unforgettable set pieces and dazzling dialogue. Nicola is drawn to experiments in form that defy easy definition, vernacular-inflected realism, the tragicomic, the weird and ethereal, seeking emotional complexity and transformative storytelling. In non-fiction Nicola is interested in narrative-driven, persuasive perspectives, a unique fearless voice and the interplay between the personal and the political, particularly from early-career scholars, critics and writers thinking deeply and universally about society through subjects such as the arts, food, family, language, creativity, sport, the body, work, travel and music, and if these works can be delivered provocatively and humorously, all the better.
