Description

LOOKING FOR: MG / YA / ADULT FICTION & NON-FICTION

Steven Evans is an Agent and the Company Manager at Eve White. He grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne and studied French & Italian at Queens’ College, Cambridge. After completing an MPhil in Comparative Film & Literature, Steven lived in Paris, where he worked as a university language assistant and a freelancer for various scouting agencies. He joined Eve White Literary Agency in 2021.

Steven reads fiction and non-fiction of all kinds. The non-fiction books he loves most often shed light on under-represented perspectives, communities and histories, while in fiction he seeks novels which might explore new ideas, challenge the reader or play with style, form, character and/or plot. Above all, he likes writing which has a sense of purpose, and likes to be taken by surprise.

Items on Steven's wish list might include:

Fiction (Adult) :

  • Crime/thriller – might be regional or with an unusual hook/high-concept. Might have a speculative element (think Stuart Turton). A spy thriller appeals. Cosy crime with an original setting/protagonist is also welcome.

  • Literary fiction – worlds, characters, perspectives and histories which haven’t been written about before. Might be formally or stylistically innovative (but with a sense of purpose that links back to the story/characters).

  • Historical fiction – themes and ideas relevant to our current moment are on the list. Might be revisionist.

  • Romance – contemporary: either very heartfelt, cosy, perhaps with older characters. Or, spicy, funny, tapping into current trends.

  • Horror – on the literary end, perhaps with a folk tale element.

Fiction (YA) :

  • Thrillers

  • Romance

Fiction (MG) :

  • Fun, historical adventure exploring contemporary issues. Might be tied into the national curriculum, though without being didactic.

  • Quirky detective/mystery series.

  • Funny and warm-hearted family-/relationship-based drama with a strong voice.

Non-fiction : Voice-driven narrative non-fiction ; memoir ; big ideas.

Most of all, Steven just loves to be taken into a world and surprised by what he reads!

Steven would like you to submit a short covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your novel in a single Word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Steven is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print)

You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
