Country United States AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Open We are seeking high-concept, intricately plotted fiction of all categories, including psychological and domestic suspense, women’s fiction, and selected young adult. We need a hook, a consistent voice, and characters that readers care about and connect with. We love high-concept thrillers set in unusual or rarified settings. We also take romance fiction — sexy or not — and prefer the positive conclusion to the dark or tragic. Above all, we are drawn to a powerful plot, one that’s engaging, complex, and provocative but whose central concept can be distilled in a few lines.Some of our favorite recent bestsellers include Drowning by T.J. Newman and Not a Happy Family by Shari LaPena, as well as Bonnie Garmus’s Lessons in Chemistry.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: General Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Women's Fiction Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Cozy, Detective Romance Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Romantic Suspense Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Domestic Thriller, Psychological, Romantic SuspenseLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Methods: 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.
