Among the noteworthy young agencies in the literary marketplace, the Knight Agency specializes in romance and women's fiction. The agency also represents literary fiction of the highest caliber, along with a diverse list of African American, religious, financial, self-help, and health nonfiction.
Deidre Knight established the agency in 1996 after working in the entertainment industry, and since that time has built a formidable client roster that includes bestsellers on the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, L.A. Times, and Amazon.com Hot 100 lists. Her authors have won countless awards, including the RITA, Gold Medallion, Walden Books Award for Best New Author, and numerous others.
Nephele Tempest joined the Knight Agency submissions department early in 2004. In 2005, she came on board as an associate agent and head of the new Los Angeles office. She brings the benefits of diverse experience, with a background that includes work in publishing (for Simon and Schuster), sales, and writing, both freelance and in a corporate environment. Nephele is currently seeking vibrant women's fiction, YA fiction, romance, sf/f, and literary fiction.
