Mushens Entertainment hires new agent

Silé Edwards is to join Mushens Entertainment as an agent, focussing on non-fiction but also building a select fiction list. Her first day will be 7th September.

Silé began her career in publishing with several internships across the industry whilst studying for a degree in English with Creative Writing at Goldsmiths University. After graduating she worked at the Publishers Association supporting their campaigns and other communications functions. She then moved to Curtis Brown as an assistant in the Book Department. She is a trustee for award-winning mentoring charity and network Arts Emergency. You can find her on twitter as @sileloquies.

Edwards said, ‘I am beyond thrilled to be joining Juliet and Liza at Mushens Entertainment. Juliet is an amazing mentor - I have so much respect for her relentless work ethic, incredible deal making skills and joyous sense of fun. I will miss my friends and colleagues at Curtis Brown: it has been such a privilege to have worked with such a talented group of people and on such a vastly eclectic and gifted list. I am so excited to begin growing my very own list of writers. I want to discover and represent a diverse range of fresh, distinctive talent, experts and brands in the non-fiction space whilst also finding exciting fiction writers.’
