Agent Information
Agent Bio
Julie is looking for fiction across a range of genres, from commercial to literary.
Her wish list includes smart, witty romcoms that subvert tropes or have something fresh to say, voice-driven or issue-led book club novels that engage with topical themes and spark conversation, layered, suspenseful thrillers with simmering tension, dark subtext and explosive character dynamics.
In the literary space, she seeks sharply observed contemporary novels, vividly drawn characters grappling with the everyday, and books that examine culture or class.
