Fiction, non-fiction
Looking for
Confident, immersive, ambitious, narrative-driven writing across fiction and non-fiction. In fiction, she is drawn to epic love stories, novels capturing specific moments in recent history, and tightly plotted narratives that use form to explore the extremes of human psychology and society. She loves love stories in particular — ones that balance emotional depth with humour. In non-fiction, she is seeking subject experts, journalists and memoirists who can write long-form literature, including captivating music writing and ground-shifting investigative journalism.

Science fiction, fantasy, literary horror, non-fiction
Looking for
Sam represents science fiction, fantasy, literary horror, and non-fiction for a general audience. He is looking for fantasy with wit and deep world-building, hard SF and cyberpunk exploring big questions about humanity, and work that pushes SFF genre boundaries. He is also interested in upmarket folkloric horror-tinged fiction, fiction and non-fiction engaging with landscape or the sea, books about jazz and classical music with an unconventional approach, and writing by experts who relay complex ideas with verve. He is keen to work with writers whose background, identity, sexuality, cultural experience, or ethnicity have historically been under-represented on publishers' lists in the UK. He does not accept children's or young adult submissions.
