Cody Siler
Cody is a coordinator in the International Rights department, working with publishers around the world to help WME books reach new audiences in translation. He’s worked with WME clients including Terry Hayes, Tom Clancy, Julia Fox, Emma Straub, Nnedi Okorafor, Jean Kwok, Kim Ghattas, and Mary Roach.
Cody is actively looking for authors and projects originating outside the English language. He is interested in fiction writers who marry literary prose and a singular voice with a plot-driven, suspenseful structure, like Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Virginia Feito, Javier Cercas, Anna Burns, or Asako Yuzuki. For nonfiction, he is interested in writing that explores timely issues from a relevant and unique vantage point. Cody reads both Spanish and English.
For fiction projects, please send Cody your query letter and bio, along with the first three chapters of your manuscript.
For nonfiction, please send only the query and your bio.
For works originating in languages other than Spanish or English, please include a translation sample of at least 10 pages and a synopsis in English.
