What Juliet is looking for
Juliet describes herself as a generalist who will consider any genre she is currently seeking. She is interested in a broad range of speculative fiction and wants commercial fiction with upmarket writing and a page-turning plot. She is actively seeking historical thrillers, historical fantasy and historical romance, plus upmarket book club fiction that raises moral questions. She also represents horror, upmarket love stories and literary coming-of-age novels. The agency is not open to picture books, middle-grade, poetry, screenplays or comics and graphic novels.
