About

I’m an associate agent and I’m actively building a list of talented authors. My clients’ work spans a range of genres and age groups, from YA fantasy to adult rom-com.
My first book deal was with Hachette UK, and I now collaborate with leading publishers including Penguin Random House UK, Scholastic UK, and HarperCollins US to bring my clients’ manuscripts to life.
Over the years, I’ve participated in ‘agent evenings’ for The New School in New York, advising MFA Creative Writing students on their thesis manuscripts and guiding them through the publishing landscape.
I’m always on the lookout for fresh voices and am passionate about helping aspiring authors succeed in the industry.

Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
