William Morris Endeavor has signed author Nick Hornby as a client for television and film.

Hornby was recently nominated for an adapted screenplay Academy Award for “An Education.” His books include “Fever Pitch,” “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy,” all of which were turned into feature films.

He is also the author of the books “How to Be Good,” “Speaking With the Angel,” “Juliet, Naked” and “A Long Way Down,” which is set up with Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil at Warner Bros.

WME will work closely with Hornby’s U.K. agent, Jenne Casarotto, who will continue to represent him in all areas. He will remain exclusively with his U.K. representation in publishing.

This is the first time Hornby has been represented by a U.S.-based talent agency.
