Eli Keren

An agent with Curious Minds (see other agents at this agency).

About

Eli Keren worked at United Agents for eight years before joining Curious Minds in 2024. Before starting his publishing career, he had been a research scientist designing and synthesising novel drugs, and science books remain a particular passion of his. He mostly works with experts, academics and researchers on ideas-led books in the fields of smart science and current affairs, with a particular interest in LGBTQ+ books. He enjoys books written by writers who are obsessed with a niche subject and skilled enough communicators to make others fall in love with their subject too, and is keen to find books that are going to change the world for the better.
In 2023 he was elected treasurer of the UK's Association of Authors’ Agents, where he also chairs the sub-committee on AI in publishing. He has been a returning judge on the Bloomsbury Academic Writing Fellowship since its founding in addition to judging the Pat Kavanagh Prize, the Page Turner Awards and the Wellcome Collection Non-Fiction Awards.

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.
