Country New Zealand AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed Catherine is looking for romance, crime, thriller, mystery and book club fiction. A great submission will have a really interesting original concept with a strong voice. She's definitely interested in adult commercial fiction that is full of twists, turns, gasps and chills; psychological thrillers where nothing is what it seems and there’s a unique idea behind the story; groundbreaking thrillers where the mystery is a game played with the reader and genres are blurred; cosy crimes that are whodunnits with heart and beautifully written plus imaginatively conceived high-concept book club fiction.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: General Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Email.

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.
