Helen Lane An agent with Ki Agency (see other agents at this agency). About Helen Lane joined the Ki Agency in 2025. She is an agent at Ki Agency and a developmental editor.She has a BSc in Environmental Science fromthe University of East Anglia and a postgrad qualification in Acoustics. She lives in London with her family and the world’s naughtiest cocker spaniel.Helen represents Adult (and select YA) genre fiction. She is particularly looking for an Action and Adventure series this year along the lines of Clive Cussler’s Numa series or James Rollins' Sigma Series. She is also a sucker for monster romances along the lines of Lillian Lark's books. She is usually not a great fit for anything historical.Her tastes do run towards the dark and she is slightly obsessed with monster stories in general (especially if they have giant sharks or squids). And stories set in extreme environments such as the arctic, jungle, caves, ocean, and mountains. But she DOES NOT want to read about affairs or abuse in any genre. (Her husband likes her to add here that this is nothing to do with him, she just doesn’t like sad stories).

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.
