Agent Bio

Kat is seeking fiction that is extraordinary and precise with powerful, elegant prose that pulls apart the strands of the everyday.

She is drawn to literary fiction that plays with genre including political and erotic thrillers and work with great characterisation, propulsive and perfectly paced.

Shades of the surreal and grotesque and narratives of obsession, infatuation, longing and belonging appeal to her.

She is attracted to playful, lively and innovative prose that assesses humanity with a sharp gaze and makes her laugh.

She is open to experimental and genre defying work and writing on psychoanalysis and therapy.

In nonfiction she wants stylish writing and fresh perspectives.
