Abigail Fenton

About

Abigail Fenton joined Ampersand in September 2025. Prior to that she spent over a decade in editorial at Hachette and HarperCollins, latterly as Editorial Director for HQ Digital, and worked as a freelance editor and book coach.

Abigail is looking for adult fiction across genres, including book-club reads, crime and thrillers, and women’s fiction and romance of all stripes. She loves high-concept hooks, page-turning plots, and books that pose big, juicy questions. Books she has read and enjoyed recently include Happy Place, Lessons in Chemistry, So Thrilled for You, Wrong Place Wrong Time and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Please do not send her children’s, SFF, or short stories.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the agent or agency being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
  • Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
