What Susan is looking for
Being an agent allows Susan to do what she loves best: discovering new and original voices, helping debut writers launch their careers and working with already published novelists who might want a change in direction. What she looks for in the writers she represents is strong prose, great storytelling, vivid characters and a true originality of vision. She loves to see literary fiction, book group/upmarket commercial women’s fiction, contemporary stories, family dramas, historical, crime, thrillers and suspense. She’s also keen to see high-quality magical realism, speculative fiction i.e. books with an edge of SFF, horror, gothic or ‘otherness’, as well as romantasy, fantasy and character-le
