About

Laura Cameron joined the Transatlantic Agency after six years at Penguin Random House Canada, where she worked in editorial, sales and publicity. Before her career in publishing, Laura did a Master’s in Journalism at Columbia University, interned with the Economist Group, and worked for Canadian Business magazine.
Laura represents books across all genres and ages, with a focus on adult and YA fiction and nonfiction with a specialization in book-to-tv/film representation. She seeks out issue-driven books that surprise and provoke the reader, and literary writing that blends and subverts genre. Laura has a particular interest in contemporary stories that invite readers into lesser-known worlds, reimagined folklore, elevated horror, literary/upmarket suspense, research-based narrative nonfiction, and true crime. Above all, she seeks out unique narrative voices, characters she doesn’t recognize, and writing she can’t turn away from.

Laura represents a diverse mix of books. While her focus is adult upmarket and literary fiction and elevated horror and suspense, she is particularly drawn to work that blends and subverts genres. Above all, she seeks to represent novels that combine an ingenious plot with an unforgettable voice. Whether it’s a story that provides a new way into a familiar world or one that’s rooted in lesser-known mythology, she loves to be surprised by characters and craves books that show her something new.
Laura is specifically interested in the psychology of memory, complicated female friendships, sibling relationships, family mysteries, books about art, doppelgängers and mistaken identity, deeply flawed protagonists, crime and uniquely gifted criminals, a genuinely shocking twist, dark stories with redemption, and funny novels that start urgent conversations.
Laura also represents select picture books, middle grade, and young adult.

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.
