Gabrielle Demblon
Foreign Rights Manager and Literary Agent
I head up the foreign rights department with the assistance of Annie Ku, and will also be curating my own list of authors.
I previously spent six years as a translation and book-to-film scout at MTLS. Prior to that I worked in marketing for a jazz club, bookselling in my native South Africa, and in an array of hospitality roles. I have an MA in Cultural Studies from SOAS, and a BA in English and French Literature.
As literary agent, I will be looking for literary fiction, speculative and high-concept narratives, zeitgeisty women’s fiction, and LGBTQ+ voices. In nonfiction, I am drawn to pop science, big ideas, and true crime.
I am closed to submissions until 2025.
