Please send all submissions to lambertoffice@cwagency.co.uk.<\/span><\/span><\/p> After several invaluable years as a bookseller and a book buyer on London\u2019s Charing Cross Road I moved to New York and spent three years there as an assistant at Janklow & Nesbit. I moved back to London and started my own list at Tibor Jones & Associates before joining C&W in 2013. I became a Director and later Managing Director, and was shortlisted for Agent of the Year in 2019. Alongside many Sunday Times Bestselling authors, many authors I represent have been nominated for or won numerous prizes including the Booker Prize, the Baillie Gifford, the Costa Book of the Year, the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year, the Ondaatje Prize, the Wainwright Prize, the British Book of the Year Award, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Dylan Thomas Prize.<\/p> I work very closely editorially with authors and love the process of helping guide a book from a kernel of an idea through to publication itself. A shared vision and ambition is key for me, so I feel I can truly add value to the author\/ agent relationship. In terms of what I\u2019m looking for - It\u2019s all about the writing for me. I love fiction which is voice driven and introduces readers to different perspectives and singular narrators, as well as beautifully written literary fiction which has a strong sense of place, and commercial crime and thrillers which keep the reader on the edge of their seats and continually surprise and excite me. Where nonfiction is concerned I am drawn to narrative nonfiction which straddles genre and I\u2019m especially interested in nature writing, travel, history, anthropology, art and the environment. I represent lots of memoir, as well as books by experts in their field and specialists. I would love to find a gorgeous, all-consuming love story, or a food writer who matches Bill Burford or Anthony Bourdain. Essentially, I\u2019m looking for an exquisite writer to take me by the hand and show me a different way to see the world, whether that\u2019s through fiction or nonfiction.<\/p> Favourite books of mine include Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick, All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, Do No Harm by Henry Marsh, Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel, Heat by Bill Burford, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny, Far from the Tree by Andrew Solomon and Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson.<\/p> I don't represent children's, YA or fantasy fiction.<\/p><\/div>","profile_photo":3165,"show_clients":true,"links":{},"meta_tags":"sophie-lambert,sophie-lambert-agent,sophie-lambert-literary-agent,agent-sophie-lambert,literary-agent-sophie-lambert,conville-and-walsh,sophie-lambert-conville-and-walsh,conville-and-walsh-sophie-lambert,C+W-sophie-lambert,sophie-lambert-C+W,CW-agency-sophie-lambert,cwagency-sophie-lambert,sophie-lambert-cw-agency,sophie-lambert-cwagency,C&W-sophie-lambert,C&W-literary-agent,sophie-lambert-C&W-agency,christie-watson-agent,christie-watson-literary-agent,nathan-filer-literary-agent,nathan-filer-agent,agent-nathan-filer,literary-agent-nathan-filer,tom-burgis-agent,literary-agent-tom-burgis,lara-dearman-agent,agent-lara-dearman,literary-agent-lara-dearman,fiona-cummins-agent,literary-agent-fiona-cummins,fiona-cummins-literary-agent,agent-fiona-cummins,tim-spector-agent","title":"Agent","has_assistant":true,"assistant":[122]}
