Helen Edwards

Helen launched her agency, Helen Edwards Rights, in 2020 on the back of over 25 years of experience selling international rights for two major UK publishing houses. She began her publishing career at Headline where she became Foreign Rights Manager before moving to Transworld Publishers (a division of Penguin Random House UK) and enjoyed fifteen years as Rights Director. There, Helen handled the US and Canadian rights for bestselling authors including Kate Atkinson, Fiona Barton, Paula Hawkins, Rachel Joyce and Vikas Swarup.

In 2021, Helen joined the DHH Literary Agency to head up the Rights Department, where she handles the translation deals in house, and American deals out of Helen Edwards Rights.
