We accept both agented and unagented submissions. Our areas of interest are literary fiction with strong plotlines and charismatic characters (no experimental or metafiction), smart book club novels, upmarket mysteries, upmarket crime (including genre benders, but in all cases books which aim to say something important about the world rather than merely tweak genre conventions), intelligent suspense (no doomsday plots or Bond-style eyewash), the rational end of speculative (no fantasy, space opera, or superheroes in any shape or form), as well as contemporary humour and satire. In short, if your book is as good as any of those on my shelf above, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
