Fiction

I accept fiction submissions in the areas of upmarket, bookclub, contemporary, and historical fiction, crime and thrillers (including psychological fiction). I don’t represent science fiction, fantasy or children’s literature.

I’m looking for stand-out reading-group novels, particularly epic family dramas and love stories, ambitious thrillers, upmarket crime, and voice driven novels that capture the zeitgeist. Strong hooks and memorable characters are essential. I enjoy novels that feel compulsively readable with a sense of mystery, or that really dig into human relationships (ideally with a sense of humour). I’m also on the lookout for genre fiction, including suspense and romance, for the thriving digital market. 

Recent favourite reads include The Wedding People, Don’t Let Him In, All Fours, The Most Fun We Ever Had, The God of the Woods, Lessons in Chemistry, Notes on an Execution, Soldier Sailor, The Bee Sting, The Ten Year Affair.
