About Imogen
Imogen Pelham is an agent at Marjacq Scripts Ltd, and she handles US rights enquiries for the agency. The agency was founded in 1974 as a full-service literary agency with writers of fiction and non-fiction. Her non-fiction authors include Hattie Crisell, Jimi Famurewa, Marie Le Conte, Philippa Snow and Kassia St Clair, and her fiction authors include Annie Garthwaite, Brydie Lee-Kennedy, Chris McQueer and Yara Rodrigues Fowler.
What Imogen is looking for
Imogen represents non-fiction that examines serious subjects in innovative ways, along with literary and upmarket fiction. Her non-fiction list covers history, science, memoir, cookery, cultural criticism, social issues and psychology, and she is particularly interested in identity, the arts and investigative journalism. In fiction she is looking for outstanding writing that sheds light on humanity, a cast of characters that is hard to forget, and literary thrillers.
Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), the agency accepts submissions by email only, and submissions are always welcome. Imogen's email address is on the agency's website, and writers send their submission to the agent who is the best fit. For prose works, a covering letter goes in the body of the email, with the first fifty pages attached and a synopsis (fiction) or proposal (non-fiction) as Word or PDF files, totalling no more than 2MB. Individual agents may have extra criteria, so their pages should be read.
