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.

Sara Langham

David Higham Associates

Sara is actively building a list of literary and upmarket fiction and non-fiction. Generally, Sara is looking for wonderful, clear writing with beauty at its heart, great hooky plot-driven stories and/or a combination of both. Sara admires authors such as Elif Batuman, Miranda July, Sarah Moss, Katie Kitamura, Miriam Toews, Sarah Hall, Catherine Newman, Ali Smith, Ann Patchett and Helen Garner. Sara loves speculative and genre-bending fiction such as The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley and The Echoes by Evie Wyld, and novels that play with form and structure, such as Theory and Practice by Michelle de Kretser and Fair Play by Louise Hegarty. Sara is interested in short stories, both dark and gentle comedies, and books on the edges of horror. Sara would love to find a really wild idea that is immaculate on the page. Sara is keen to find a great love story set against the backdrop of historical events as well as swoony contemporary love stories. Sara loves literary crime and is interested in detective novels and literary thrillers such as Sebastian Barry’s Old God’s Time, Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood or Kate Atkinson’s Jackson Brodie series. In non-fiction, Sara is always looking to learn new things and enjoys works such as A Thread of Violence by Mark O’Connell, Monsters by Claire Dederer, A Month in Siena by Hisham Matar and Question 7 by Richard Flanagan. Sara would love to find a graphic novel on any subject.
