Notes
Allison is Head of Children's Rights at David Higham and a translation rights professional rather than a literary agent acquiring new manuscripts — she handles translation rights sales for the children's list in France, Germany and Italy, illustrated adult non-fiction and graphic novels into all territories, and rights for the Roald Dahl Estate in France, Italy and mainland China. She joined DHA in 2017 after working at Bloomsbury Children's where she managed translation sales across pre-school, picture book, non-fiction and fiction imprints. Writers seeking manuscript representation should contact DHA's literary agents rather than Allison directly.
