Kate Nash is named a 2018 ‘Rising Star’ by The Bookseller
We are thrilled to share that Kate Nash has been selected as one of publishing’s up and comers for 2018 by The Bookseller magazine.
This is what The Bookseller said “Kate Nash has previously worn a number of hats in the book trade: publicist; sales and marketing professional for indie Myrmidon; and setting up the York Festival of Writing. But it is in founding her agency—representing a few clients from 2009, but going full-time in 2015—where she has really hit her stride. A good case study for Nash’s spot-on author care of her now 35-strong client list is Faith Martin. The romance and crime author has been published since the 1990s—but Nash recognised the opportunities for revitalising her backlist to support new work, doing a deal with Corazon for romance titles and with Joffe Books to republish the DI Hilary Greene series. The Greene series has been a smash, shifting over 250,000 Kindle units for Joffe, which in turn helped Nash to sell a new Martin crime series to HarperCollins at auction. Other recent successes include helping to steer Mandy Baggot’s career path from self-published author, to Bookouture star, to a three-book deal with Ebury; and taking Sue Fortin to the top of the Kindle charts—and then to a deal with HarperFiction.”
