Cody Siler

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 in both Spanish and English.

Cody is a coordinator in the International Rights department, working with publishers around the world to help WME’s authors 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, Mary Roach, and the Estate of Isaac Asimov.

For fiction projects, please send Cody your query letter, along with the first three chapters of your manuscript. For nonfiction, please send only the query.

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.

Please include your bio as part of all submissions.
