New Deal: AUTOKRATOR by Emily Weedon

Screenwriter and TV producer Emily Weedon’s debut novel AUTOKRATOR has sold to Cormorant Books for publication in 2023.

Set in a world where gender stereotypes have run amok; in AUTOKRATOR women are a sub-class without rights or economic strength which society relies upon to function.

"It’s a compelling novel of ideas,” says The Rights Factory agent and CEO Sam Hiyate. “I was entranced by how Emily depicts the cost gender can pose to freedom through the desperate struggles of the two female protagonists."
