Description

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Amanda Preston is an award-winning agent who has been a literary agent for over 25 years and co-founded LBA in 2005.

She represents commercial and reading group fiction, as well as a range of narrative non-fiction and memoir. She loves working with authors, championing them every step of the way, and building them into brand names and award winning, bestselling authors in the UK and internationally. Whether commercial or reading-group, she loves innovative and well-written stories that hook her in from the start and whose voice stays with her. She is looking for novels that demand to be talked about and shared, whatever their genre, and that she is still thinking about days after finishing.

Re: Fiction, Amanda is on the hunt for a high-concept crime and thrillers (and would love something set in either Scotland or Ireland), gothic novels, female-led commercial and upmarket fiction, historical fiction, romantic fiction, funny, smart romcoms and sweeping love stories. She is also on the hunt for brilliant book club fiction where it is also doing something a bit different and special i.e The Wedding People by Alison Espach or The Names by Florence Knapp.

Re: Non-fiction, Amanda is looking for intelligent non-fiction written for a commercial audience, lifestyle, memoirs, social justice, cookery, humour and self-help.

Amanda would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis or overview and the opening three chapters (max 5,000 words).
