What Rebecca is looking for
Rebecca represents fiction and non-fiction. On the fiction side her list covers commercial genres, from reading group and historical fiction to saga, police procedural, crime, thriller and psychological suspense. In non-fiction her interests include cookery, health and wellbeing, parenting, nature and travel, and anything with a female focus. Her priority is fiction that moves the reader emotionally, and she would welcome a book club novel built around a strong concept, a unique character, a clever use of time or a knotty moral dilemma.
Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), A.M.Heath no longer accepts paper submissions. Authors send their novel through the agency's Submissions page, where an online form asks for a covering letter of up to 500 words, a summary of up to 1,500 words and the first 10,000 words of the work. Submissions must be original and must not be generated, co-written or edited using artificial intelligence. Writers in North America are generally advised to look for an agent in their local market first.
