Novelist Keshava Guha to become Aevitas UK's first literary agent in India
Novelist, journalist and publisher Keshava Guha is joining Aevitas Creative Management UK (ACM UK) as a literary agent, effective immediately. Guha will be based in India, where he will build an international list of clients, primarily in non-fiction – across history, biography, social science, psychology, music and sport – but with select fiction projects.
He was previously a senior editor at Juggernaut Books and is the author of Accidental Magic (HarperCollins Publishers India) and The Tiger’s Share (John Murray). As a journalist and essayist, he writes about politics, culture and sport.
"I could not be more excited to join Aevitas as the company’s first agent in Asia," he said. "Todd Shuster, David Kuhn, Toby Mundy and the late Esmond Harmsworth have built an agency that is truly global in reach and outlook, with a culture that gives agents a remarkable degree of independence while also being collegial and collaborative."
Mundy, the chief executive officer of ACM UK, added: "We’re delighted to welcome Keshava to the ACM UK team. Keshava brings a global outlook and deep literary sensibility to ACM. His intelligence, taste and commitment to writers are evident in everything he does, and his international background and interests will bring something distinctive to the constellation of talents at work in the agency."
