Description

My current focus is on literary and upmarket fiction and non-fiction (including lifestyle and wellbeing). I am currently not looking for Crime fiction.

In my fifteen years as a literary agent, I have worked with many extraordinary, award-winning writers. I firmly believe that what you have to say matters more than your grammar; but also look for brilliance, originality, and accomplishment in your writing. I have built a successful Crime Fiction list, and my forward focus is about curating a small list of Literary writers. Within this, I continue to look for creativity and diversity. I welcome stand-out stories driven by a strong leading idea and emotional depth, with fresh perspectives and transporting arcs. If historical, let your novel speak for today.

Tones of charm and humour also work well for me. I love cats, food and cooking, and nature, and I love how-to-live concepts from experts, activists, or new cultural voices. A deft and delightful eternity-in-a-grain-of-sand concept would be a delight to take to readers around the world.
