OCTOBER AGENT121 SESSIONS ARE LIVE! |
|
Is it time to swap the bucket and spade for wellies and an umbrella? Only time will tell. But unlike the weather, our Agent121 bring consistent sunshine throughout the year. We can’t quite believe it's almost autumn so here's our October line-up!
A few agents to look out for before you head to our website and secure your spot are showcased below!

|
 | Lucy Morris
Curtis Brown
9 October 2026
Lucy represents adult commercial and literary fiction, as well as a range of narrative non-fiction. Her current wishlist includes big-hearted family drama, romantic and domestic thrillers, and she’s always intrigued by books about books! She is not looking for fantasy or romantasy, but could definitely be tempted by a sprinkling of magic or magical realism. She is drawn to emotional hooks, evocative settings (including interesting workplaces!) and deftly woven plots.

 | Francesca Riccardi
Kate Nash Literary Agency
14 October 2026 Francesca is looking for character-driven popular commercial adult fiction across all genres. She loves books with a strong voice and sense of place, and is particularly interested in stories that are high concept, appealing to a millennial audience, and showcase lesser known experiences and/or female and diverse narratives.

 | Becca Langton
Darley Anderson
27 October 2026
Becca would love to find YA and Crossover stories in the speculative, fantasy, horror and romance spaces. Especially those in the 'cosy' space or those featuring LGBTQ+ characters and relationships, both contemporary, fantasy and in between.
In the Middle Grade space she is seeking big fantasy or speculative stories that will create a reader for life – the kind of story that has kids reading by torchlight after lights out. She loves magic and world building, mythology, folk lore or a historical angle from a marginalised perspective.
