I am actively building my list and welcome submissions across women’s fiction, romance, book club, crime and thriller, and historical.
Please refer to The Ampersand Agency’s submission guidelines, and kindly note that I do not accept submissions other than via my agency email address: abigail@theampersandagency.co.uk
I’m looking for women’s fiction, romance, crime and thriller, book-club reads and historical. My reading tastes are broad, but things I am always excited by include crime with a clear hook or unique twist; women’s fiction with sparky dialogue and a strong protagonist; campus novels or those set in boarding schools; stories of forgotten women from history or retellings of myths; epic, multigenerational novels; book-club reads which ask big juicy questions.
Please note that I do not represent science-fiction, fantasy, horror, children’s, graphic novels, screenplays, poetry, short stories or non-fiction.
