LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, YA THRILLER

currently training to become a Junior Agent. She graduated from Royal Holloway,
University of London in 2020 with a BA degree in English and History, before

document inserts or written from multiple perspectives.
Saskia enjoys commercial and book club fiction and is particularly looking for

Osman, traditional Golden Age murder mystery or historical), WW2 historical
fiction in the vein of Heather Morris or Markus Zusak, twisty psychological
thriller with a unique hook, LGBTQ+ romance, underrepresented voices and
perspectives, YA thriller or romance, and locked-room thriller.

2,500 words of your manuscript in a single word document.
