LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, MG, YA, ADULT FICTION
Molly Jamieson has been working at United Agents Ltd
[http://www.unitedagents.co.uk] since 2017, working across adult and children’s
books, and before that she worked at Curtis Brown. She has recently started
building her own client list which already includes million-copy selling authors
and bestsellers.
Molly has a particular interest in scifi and fantasy across both adult and
children’s books. For a sense of her taste, she has recently read and enjoyed
Sistersong by Lucy Holland, Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, Uprooted by Naomi
Novik, The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang, and Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie
Garber. She loves anything with high stakes, characters you would follow
anywhere, big stories, expansive worldbuilding, breathless romance, and threads
of adventure running throughout.
She is also looking for commercial romantic fiction in all shapes and forms. She
has a real soft spot for classic tropes, a great sense of humour, and anything
with a clear pitch that makes you sit up and take notice, but in the end it all
comes down to chemistry. In this area, she has recently read and loved The
Hating Game by Sally Thorne, Book Lovers by Emily Henry, The Unhoneymooners by
Christina Lauren, and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.
She also represents children’s authors and illustrators in all genres, from
picture books up to YA.
In one single word document, Molly would like you to submit a covering letter, 1
page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in
