Sade Omeje – Editorial Assistant at 4th Estate and William Collins

I am currently the editorial assistant at 4th Estate and William Collins, as well as the PA to the executive publisher David Roth-Ey at Harper Collins. I graduated with a degree in English Literature and American Studies from the University of Manchester, my favourite city, where I volunteered for Manchester Literature Festival for two consecutive years. As a student, I was a founder and editor of Polyphony, an open-access, student run journal publishing undergraduate work. I run the HarperLite Virtual Open Days for 4th Estate&William Collins, as I am committed to reaching wider audiences in the industry and demystifying the publishing landscape. I am passionate about new, fresh voices and talent across fiction and non-fiction as well as writers whose work pushes boundaries and grapples with uncomfortable questions and realities. I hope to publish books that make you think, and make you feel, and then question those very emotions.
