She gravitates toward thrillers that bring something structurally or atmospherically unexpected: an offbeat or unusual setting, a speculative element woven through the plot, or a protagonist whose profession is genuinely distinctive and central to the story. Standard domestic suspense without a differentiating hook is less likely to land. Her confirmed client roster includes multiple thriller writers, confirming this is where she actively sells.

She wants historical fiction that asks readers to revisit, challenge, or fundamentally reframe a real historical figure — not simply dramatise well-trodden ground. A strong secondary hook elevates the pitch dramatically: gothic atmosphere, magical realism, fantastical elements, or an outright haunting woven into the narrative fabric. Her time working in archives and studying in Scotland means Scottish or archival settings carry genuine personal resonance and could be a real differentiator.

She is actively hunting an elegant, sweeping love story with a speculative dimension — time travel, magic, grounded fantasy, or a singular setting that makes the romance feel genuinely fresh. She also welcomes romcoms, provided the writing is sharp and witty, the heat level is real, and classic slow-burn or enemies-to-lovers dynamics are executed with intelligence rather than formula.

Her appetite for fantasy centres on original world-building: a magic system that feels genuinely invented rather than derivative, unusual creatures, and romantic threads running through the narrative. She has a particular pull toward folklore-inspired fantasy drawn from traditions beyond the Anglo-European canon — global mythology and underrepresented cultural sources are a specific priority.

She describes herself as hunting the intersection of commercial, book club, and literary — work that reads accessibly but has thematic or stylistic ambition. This is the broad tent her genre-specific categories sit under; a novel that doesn't fit neatly into thriller, fantasy, or historical fiction but has strong writing, a fresh hook, and wide-audience appeal is still worth pitching.

Food is a genuine personal passion — she bakes herself — and her client list already includes an award-winning debut food writer and a cookbook author. She is open to both narrative food memoir and practical cookbooks, prioritising strong authorial voice and either demonstrable expertise or a compelling platform. This is one of the few nonfiction categories where her sales record is already confirmed.

She specifically wants nonfiction addressing women's health through the lenses of maternal health, sports and physical performance, or mental health. The ideal submission comes from a credentialed expert or someone with direct lived-experience authority, not a generalist take. Work that challenges prevailing or accepted thinking on these subjects is particularly welcome.

Her nonfiction reading list skews toward revisionist history and cultural criticism that centres women — figures who have been overlooked, misrepresented, or actively written out. A confident, expert voice and a reframing argument are the key requirements; she is drawn to books that dismantle a received narrative as much as they build a new one.
