About Euan
Euan Thorneycroft is a literary agent at A.M. Heath & Co. Ltd, a London literary agency founded in 1919 by Audrey Heath and Alice May Spinks. He judges the Bridport Memoir and Novel-writing Prizes. His clients include the crime and thriller writers Vaseem Khan and Frances Crawford, the journalists and experts on geopolitics and history Glen Ireland, Sean O'Neill and Alwyn Turner, the international peace-building professional Yeshim Harris, the psychotherapist Emma Reed Turrell, and the Estate of Flann O'Brien.
What Euan is looking for
He is looking for crime, psychological thrillers, upmarket book club novels, speculative literary and literary horror, high concept fiction, and historical and contemporary literary fiction. He loves thrillers from literary to commercial and wants psychological insight and moral complexity in characters. In nonfiction he wants narrative books on history, geopolitics, politics, geography and science, and occasionally memoir, which he also represents. He is largely looking for experts who can turn expertise into an engaging, page-turning narrative. He does not handle children's, young adult or SFF submissions and asks that they be redirected to a colleague.
Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), the agency is always on the lookout for writers. Submissions are made online through its form, as paper is no longer accepted. The form asks for a covering letter (500 words maximum), a summary (1,500 words maximum) and the first 10,000 words. Work must be original and not generated, co-written or edited using AI. Euan receives many submissions from Canada and the US and advises non-UK writers to seek an agent at home unless there is a specific reason to want a UK-based one.
