Anna Webber

An agent with A. M. Heath Literary Agents (see other agents at this agency).

About

I represent a wide range of fiction and non-fiction and a bit of poetry. I read English, German, and French. I have worked with authors such as Samantha Harvey, Sarah Moss, and David Szalay since the beginning of their careers, and it is a particular joy to see their work evolve and go from strength to strength. My authors have won or been nominated for all major prizes.

Collapse section Fiction Open

I am always on the lookout for new, exciting voices. I love books that challenge our understanding of form and genre and am particularly drawn to writing that is many-layered and nuanced and explores the possibilities of language. I am drawn to novels that deal with memory and truth - or our understanding of truth - and I prefer moral ambiguity to moral absolutism. I like books that make me laugh or challenge my certainties. There is nothing like a good uncomfortable read from the likes of Ottessa Moshfegh to keep me on my toes. With some notable exceptions - Emily St John Mandel, to mention just one – I prefer novels that are set in the here and now.

Collapse section Nonfiction Open

In non-fiction, I love the overlooked and unexpected. No matter what the book is about, you will be able to draw me in by sharing your passion for and knowledge of your subject. I love to be guided by the intense gaze of a curious mind. I enjoy books that come at their subject at an angle and draw new and astonishing connections. I am particularly interested in books about art, the body, the mind, and the natural world.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
