Mia Dakin
I joined Greene & Heaton in January 2023, after completing an MA in Publishing at UCL. I work across the agency, in fiction, non-fiction and translation, and assist all agents. In fiction, I enjoy any story focusing on family dynamics, no matter the genre, time or place. If there's a speculative aspect, even better! Examples of recent fiction I’ve loved are SHANGHAILANDERS by Juli Min, BROWN GIRLS by Daphne Palasi Andreades, CLOSE TO HOME by Michael McGee, EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS by Oisín McKenna and THE SAFEKEEP by Yael Van Der Wouden. In non-fiction I enjoy narrative/memoir with a twist, such as TAKEAWAY by Angela Hui, fresh interpretations of previously trodden areas, such as CORKER by Hannah Crosbie and non-fiction writing focused on improving our future by learning from our past, such as NOMAD CENTURY by Gaia Vince and SYSTEMIC: HOW RACISM IS MAKING US SICK by Layal Liverpool.
