Sarah Brooks

About

Sarah began her publishing career in rights and licensing, starting as a Rights Assistant at Hachette in 2010. After relocating to Sydney, she became Head of Rights, Contracts and International Sales for Hachette Australia and New Zealand. She held the role for nine years, working from both Australia and the UK, and was responsible for licensing rights for Hachette’s Australasian authors across the UK, US, film and TV, and translation markets.

In 2024, seeking a more creative and hands-on role, Sarah joined Darley Anderson & Associates as Acting Head of Rights, covering Georgia Fuller’s maternity leave. It quickly became clear that agenting was the next step in her publishing journey, and she is now thrilled to be building her own list of book club and reading group authors at Darley Anderson & Associates.

Sarah is an ambitious and strategic thinker with a strong background in licensing, contracts, and negotiation. She thrives in collaborative, close-knit teams and is highly results-driven.

She studied Music at Nottingham University and holds a diploma in piano performance. When she’s not reading, you might find her lost in a Rachmaninov concerto.

Fiction Closed

I’m looking for bold, voice-driven fiction for the book club market and women’s fiction. I love to read strong, character-led stories which are well written but also plot-driven, with broad commercial appeal. I’m drawn to both contemporary and historical narratives, especially those with high-concept hooks or deep emotional resonance.

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.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
