Country of Publication United Kingdom Professional Associations Member of AAA AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed I am often drawn to darker tales that weave together excellent characters and an impossible-to-put-down story, though I also love a smart, multilayered rom-com in the style of Emily Henry. I am very hands-on editorially, and love working with my authors to shape their manuscripts, and love discovering debut authors, helping them find a home for their books. I’m on the hunt for high-concept thrillers, crime, rom-com, psychological suspense, horror and speculative, genre-bending fiction. No Fantasy please! I’m also always on the lookout for reading group fiction in the vein of Jodi Picoult or Liane Moriarty.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Young adults.Genres: General Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Subgenre: PsychologicalLengths: 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.
