Natalie Edwards
Literary AgentNatalie Edwards joined Trellis Literary at its founding after nearly two years at Janklow & Nesbit Associates. Prior to that, she worked at Curtis Brown, Ltd. At Trellis, Natalie supports Allison Hunter while actively building a list of her own.
Natalie represents adult fiction and nonfiction across a broad range of genres. In fiction, she tends to lean more upmarket and literary, and her nonfiction tastes trend toward the narrative (memoir, history, science, cultural criticism) rather than the prescriptive (how-tos, cookbooks, craft/gift, etc.). Across her list, she loves projects that blur genre and defy easy categorization—historical with a hint of the speculative, journalistic nonfiction with a memoir throughline. Above all, she is drawn to accessible voices with a literary sensibility, guiding the reader through a compelling story with just enough plot momentum to keep them effortlessly turning the page.
