The Ki Agency was founded in 2011 by Meg Davis to create an agency that is both proactive and responsive to the fast-changing media. The new directions media takes, their trends and their development, are unpredictable, and we adapt with them in order to best serve our clients.
Meg’s background includes work in the theatre and bookselling and a childhood spent listening to her dad trying to explain what it’s like working as a television executive. Meg is joined by Fabienne Schwizer, who has worked across sectors in publishing, academia and reviewing.
In 2015, Ki purchased the Burkeman and Clarke agency, which added well-known authors in both non-fiction and fiction to our roster. We continue to expand our list judiciously but enthusiastically.
We also represent the Film/TV rights of a select group of book-only literary agencies. As members of the Personal Managers’ Association and the Association of Authors’ Agents, we abide by their Codes of Practice.
Please see our Submission Guidelines for details on how to submit your work.
Meg’s work for her clients is informed by her involvement behind the scenes, previously as co-Chair of the Dramatists’ section of the PMA, on the management board of Public Lending Right, and as the external examiner for the MA in Scriptwriting course at Sheffield Hallam. She is currently Chair of the Writers’ Organisations Advisory Group, and has also served on the committee of the Association of Authors’ Agents.
Meg is happy to consider scripts in all genres, and books in some genres, especially genre fiction. Not a good bet for fiction that might be considered to be wearing a cardigan, or which is narrated by an animal.
Fabienne has come to agenting after working across the publishing industry in scouting, editorial and audio. Before publishing, she was a medieval historian, playing with an entirely different sort of manuscript for a living.
For the last few years, she ran the reviews side of Grimdark Magazine, building strong relationships across markets in genre fiction and helping the review team grow as writers. Having worked in audiobook acquisition for the German market, she is very familiar with the broader European markets. She is especially keen to champion books that have strong appeal internationally and to help authors consider the commercial side of editing their manuscript.
Fabienne loves strong voices and atmosphere, stories that have something to say about the world in both fiction and non-fiction. Her sweet spot is books that combine strong commercial appeal with a sense of social criticism - for example Lee Mandelo, Nicola Griffith, P. Djèlí Clark, Ryka Aoki or Tracy Deonn.
