Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to residents of Australia or New Zealand. Country of Publication Australia Professional Associations Member of ALAA AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Temp Closed She represents adult fiction that sits neatly in the sweet spot: books with a meaty plot that are beautifully written with big themes and an engaging voice. Crime and thriller authors, especially fast paced and hooky psychological thrillers that keep you up reading late into the night, are a firm favourite. Historical fiction, on the more literary side, that shines a spotlight on women who have not had their stories told, or are thought of as outcasts, also feature on Pippa’s list.Pippa also represents children’s books, with a special focus on author/illustrator picture book creators, and classic and returnable middle-grade.Dates:Will be open to submissions from 01 June 2027* (approx. 266 days from now) through 30 June 2027.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults, Children, Middle grades, Young adults.Genres: General Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Historical Mystery/Crime Subgenre: Crime Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: 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.
