About Sarah
Sarah Stamp is an Associate Agent at The Soho Agency, a literary, theatrical and talent agency based in Soho, London. She has been with the agency for almost five years. She began there as an assistant to Julian Alexander and Ben Clark, supporting their roster of non-fiction authors and big brand novelists. The agency was founded in 2019 by bringing together LAW (Lucas Alexander Whitley) and Factual Management, and is a full member of the Association of Authors' Agents, the Personal Managers Association and the Association of Illustrators.
What Sarah is looking for
Sarah is drawn to speculative fiction with a magical twist, and to high-concept, book-club fiction. She is drawn to upmarket, issue-led contemporary novels that make readers feel strongly, and to horror covering folklore, hauntings, body horror, dark thrillers, dystopian and witchcraft themes. Commercial romance with a funny, affirming tone interests her, as do compulsive psychological thrillers where a bigger twist is better. Historical fiction, from romance to low fantasy and magical realism, also appeals. Non-fiction interests include narrative history with big commercial ideas, and memoir with a strong one-line pitch. She is not keen on science-fiction horror.
