Ariella Feiner

An agent with United Agents (see other agents at this agency).

About

I started working at PFD in 2006 before moving to United Agents, and I now represent many bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-winning authors across fiction and non-fiction, including Sunday Times bestsellers, Richard and Judy book club picks and New York Times bestselling authors. In 2017, The Bookseller named me as a Rising Star.

My clients include Jane Casey, whose Sunday Times bestselling novel The Killing Kind, was adapted for a TV series starring Colin Morgan, multi-million copy selling Mike Gayle, whose novels Half a World Away and A Song of Me and You were Richard and Judy picks, Claire Daverley, whose love story Talking at Night has been shortlisted for Debut Fiction Book of the Year at the 2024 British Book Awards, and Natasha Preston, who has had nine New York Times bestsellers to date. In non-fiction, I represent Olia Hercules, who received the 2023 Guild of Food Writer's Special Award for her work in co-founding #CookforUkraine and The Great British Sewing Bee hosts Patrick Grant and Esme Young, both instant Sunday Times bestsellers.

I am always open to submissions and have found many hugely exciting authors that way. I adore the rush of being the first to discover new voices and the strategy of working with authors to shape their careers in the long-term.

Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed

In fiction, do send me books with an exciting or unusual hook, uplifting novels which will make readers feel good in these uncertain times, those with a speculative or magical element, multi-generational novels, book club titles which explore big issues or have memorable characters at their heart, stand-out twisty thrillers and crime novels including cosy crime. I would also love an epic tale such as Great Circle, historical fiction which reflects something of the world we live in now and a love story with a memorable concept or stand-out writing. I am very much on the lookout for more diverse voices and books which open conversations around important topics.

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.
