The Knight Agency was established in 1996 by Deidre Knight, who had been working in the entertainment industry. Since that time, TKA 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.
Nephele Tempest joined The Knight Agency in January, 2005, opening the Los Angeles-area office. As an agent, she loves to help her clients hone their skills and build their careers. Nephele initially worked on the editorial side of the publishing business before leaving to try other industries, including sales and finance. She spent a number of years at several major New York investment firms, first as a financial advisor and later a marketing and communications writer. This broad experience provided her with insight into multiple aspects of the publishing industry. Nephele continues to actively build her client list and looks for fiction with both strong, well-developed characters and a story that pulls her in and won’t let go.
