Looking For

Cathryn Summerhayes has some of the most eclectic tastes of any agent at Curtis Brown and considers virtually everything, from feminist thrillers and memoirs to ghost stories and reading group fiction. The writing must deliver on every page with smart language, clever ideas, and a unique voice, as concept alone is no longer enough. She knows early in her reading whether she will connect with a submission, so polished manuscripts and strong pitches are essential.
