I joined United Agents in 2021 and assist Ariella Feiner and Jodie Hodges on their lists. I am now starting to build my own list, with a focus on romance for new adult and adult readers and Irish writers across genres.

For romance, I would love to see both the classic tropes and fresh takes. The most important elements of any romance for me are chemistry, tension and good, old-fashioned pining.

I would love to see lots of genre mixing, as long as there is a romantic relationship at the centre. Some of my favourite books that cross genres include The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Soulmates, Love in Colour, Seven Year Slip, The Spoils of Time series, The Selection series, The Luxe series

My evergreen authors are Emily Henry, Lucy Parker, Sally Thorne, Katherine Center, R. S. Grey, Casey McQuiston, Lily Chu and Katherine McGee

Books I love to reread include The View Was Exhausting, You Deserve Each Other, Failure to Match and The Sixty/Forty Rule

I wouldn’t be the best agent for romantasy or high fantasy, please send these to Molly Jamieson
