I assist Molly Ker Hawn and am actively building my own list, representing mostly authors of adult literary fiction and sci-fi/fantasy/horror. Please note that I’m open to referrals from clients and other publishing contacts even when I’m closed to queries.

Before working in publishing I was a bookseller and cataloguer of second-hand and antiquarian books, and did a master’s degree in Queer History. I joined the Bent Agency UK in 2019, spent six years there as an assistant and then associate agent, and started at DHA at the end of 2025.

Across all genres I’m primarily looking for authorial confidence, singular narrative voices, stylish sentences, knotty interpersonal relationships, and transportive writing that immerses me in a fully-formed world (whether that’s fantastical, geographical, or emotional). I try not to be too prescriptive; my tastes are pretty omnivorous, and when I read I’m looking less for specific content and more for a novel that will surprise me, make me think, and make me feel big feelings.

A random selection of my favourite authors: Hilary Mantel, Francis Spufford, Patricia Highsmith, Jordy Rosenberg, Tamora Pierce, Shola von Reinhold, Tamsyn Muir, Shelley Parker-Chan, Julia Armfield, Andrea Lawlor, Laurie Colwin, Allen Bratton, T. H. White, Sybille Bedford, Elif Batuman, Jacqueline Carey, Isabella Hammad, Donna Tartt, Susanna Clarke, Michelle Paver . . .
