Deidre Knight
Deidre Knight is president of The Knight Agency, which she founded in 1996. Since that time, she has grown the agency to national prominence, landing authors on every major bestseller list. With agency sales of more than 450 titles, a large percentage of which are in the categories of romance and women's fiction, Deidre has established a reputation for discovering vivid and unique fiction. As an author, she brings that same sensibility to bear, creating fresh characters and strong, emotional storylines. One editor has described her as having "tremendous verve and a great knack for character and smart scenes." Others have called her writing "outstanding" and "emotionally evocative."
Deidre began her writing career at age nine, when her award- winning essay on Barbie was published in her hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. She has been writing in one form or another ever since. After nearly a decade of working with Knight Agency clients, helping them discover their creative potential, her fiction debut with NAL in 2006 marks the fulfillment of her own lifelong writing dream. She is excited to embark on yet another new and fulfilling creative journey.
