Agency Assistant
Steven is the agency assistant at Eve White, reading submissions and providing administrative and editorial support. Steven grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne. After completing an MPhil in comparative film & literature at Queens’ College, Cambridge, he moved to Paris, where he taught English and worked as a freelancer for several literary scouting agencies. He enjoys reading fiction and non-fiction of all kinds, but has a particular interest in non-fiction which sheds light on under-represented perspectives, communities and histories, and literary fiction which explores new ideas, challenges the reader, and plays with style, form, character and/or plot.
Reader
Aisha is the children’s reader for Eve White. When she’s not reading, she’s most probably writing. Her debut middle-grade novel was released in 2019. She likes anything from contemporary fiction to fantasy, and her favourite stories are usually filled with magic and heart.
Reader
Nicky first worked as a fiction reader and sometime editor for Eve over 20 years ago. She writes, reads for competitions and runs writers’ retreats and creative writing classes in France. She is delighted to be back reading fiction for us.
Reader
Pippa currently reads non-fiction for Eve White. She has worked in publishing for 10 years, first as an assistant at a literary agency, and more recently as an editor and reader for a handful of agencies, scouts and publishers. She likes all kinds of fiction and non-fiction – both literary and commercial – but is always looking for sparkling writing, and a story or characters that you carry with you, long after you’ve finished reading.
