Collapse section Fiction Open

In terms of fiction, I’m particularly drawn to character and voice driven narratives that make me feel deeply and think hard about the world around us. If the writing is compelling, agile, atmospheric and intelligent I can fall for any kind of story, but I especially enjoy those that have a strong sense of time and place, are clear and bold in their intent and style and that interrogate what it means to be human. I love books that explore complicated or outsider characters, complex family dynamics, the domestic space, modern life, relationships in all forms, identity and the female experience. Some recent favourites include Kick the Latch by Kathyrn Scanlan, Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, Trespasses by Louise Kennedy, Close to Home by Michael Magee, Assembly by Natasha Brown, Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, The Mars Room by Rachel Kushner, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin and On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong.

Collapse section Nonfiction Open

I want to read absorbing narrative non-fiction that challenges and broadens our perspective and offers a fresh take on or new approach to big subjects. I am especially drawn to literary biography and criticism as well as books about nature, art, history and contemporary social issues, and I'm always interested in extraordinary stories about real people or events. Examples of non-fiction titles I admire include All That Glitters by Orlando Whitfield, Super Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell, The Premonitions Bureau by Sam Knight, Aftermath by Preti Taneja, Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe and Essayism by Brian Dillon.

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.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

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.
