MAY 21  at 6:00pm – 7:00pm

Orli Vogt-Vincent, David Higham Associates

David Higham Associates is one of the leading agencies for writers in the world, managing the careers of authors and screenwriters across all genres in all markets. They have nearly fifty staff working in our modern Soho office across the main departments of Books; Film, TV & Stage; Translation Rights and Accounts.

Orli is the assistant to Lizzy KremerIn and she is currently building her own list. In non-fiction, she loves (primarily) female-driven works which interrogate and critique aspects of popular culture, feminism, and art in all its forms, or which accessibly explore sex and relationships, health and lifestyle, and self-development in new, risky, and empowering ways.  Favourites of hers include You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith and Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski. She is also an avid reader of serious history, and loves to read works which fuse political and cultural history with memoir, such as East West Street by Philippe Sands and We Don’t Know Ourselves by Fintan O’Toole.

In fiction, she is drawn to works of literary fiction which have engrossing plots at their centre, and which raise questions about language and identity,  the intersection of the personal and the political, performance and literature, and love. She is particularly drawn to stories set during, or notably in the aftermath of, historical conflicts. Novels she’s loved recently include In Memoriam by Alice Winn and Moving Kings by Joshua Cohen.
