About Laurie
Laurie Robertson is a literary agent at Peters Fraser + Dunlop, where she represents books and journalism. She joined the agency in 2017, after a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing and a period in sales at Dorling Kindersley. She began building her own list in 2020 and is actively building it across adult fiction and non-fiction. Her clients include Marie-Claire Chappet, an author and journalist, and she represents several Sunday Times bestselling authors. Her clients have been shortlisted for and won a number of prizes, including a Waterstones debut fiction award.
What Laurie is looking for
Laurie is actively seeking literary, bookclub and upmarket commercial fiction, with a particular interest in historical fiction and genre-blending work, especially with speculative or romance elements. On non-fiction, she wants stories that surprise and challenge, and narrative non-fiction that reads like fiction. She also represents cookery and is looking for food writers. Feminist narratives in fiction and non-fiction are of constant interest, particularly voices from underrepresented backgrounds. Children's and YA, crime, thriller and horror are not currently being considered.
Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), submissions are by email only, sent directly to one agent, and authors should submit to just one agent. For fiction, the agency asks for the first three chapters or around fifty pages, a full synopsis and a covering letter. Non-fiction takes a detailed proposal. The agency aims to reply within eight weeks, and any use of AI in the work's development must be clearly disclosed. Her email is on the agency's website.
