What Zoe is looking for

Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), the agency says it is always looking for fresh talent. For books, each agent keeps a boutique list reflecting their own tastes, so authors should choose the one agent best suited to their book. If another agent has asked for the full manuscript or offered representation, authors should say so during submission. The agency does not accept unsolicited material from film and television writers. Submission contact details are on the agency's website.
