Nephele Tempest

Nephele Tempest joined The Knight Agency in January, 2005, opening the Los Angeles-area office.

As an agent, she loves to help her clients hone their skills and build their careers.

Nephele initially worked on the editorial side of the publishing business before leaving to pursue other industries, including sales and finance.

She spent a number of years at several major New York investment firms, first as a financial advisor and later a marketing and communications writer.

This broad experience developed insight and skills that proved highly applicable when she returned to the publishing industry.

Nephele continues to actively build her client list and looks for fiction with both strong, well-developed characters and a story that pulls her in and won’t let go.

She is currently seeking women’s contemporary or historical fiction, contemporary and paranormal single-title romance, and real world or secondary world adult fantasy.

More generally, Nephele always looks for work with diverse cultural influences, #ownvoices projects, and stories that inspire and/or make her think.
