Currently Looking For
Maria is translation rights manager for Greyhound Literary and is also building her own list of authors as a primary agent. She previously spent over five years working as a literary scout at Maria B. Campbell Associates in London, where she advised international publishers in over 12 countries on the adult and children’s publishing market, and scouted multiple books for their film/tv client, Netflix. She has wide-ranging tastes across commercial, upmarket and literary fiction and is looking to represent authors in the Adult, New Adult and YA spaces. She loves character-driven and high concept novels that combine intelligent and striking writing with a commercial hook. Anything with a strong aesthetic sensibility or a speculative bent is likely to be up her street and her taste runs the gamut from the dark, strange and disturbing to the wholesome, heart-warming and cosy. At the moment she is particularly interested in seeing: Horror and gothic fiction Some of her favourite authors are: Brom, Christopher Buehlman, Mona Awad, Ainslie Hogarth, Tananarive Due, Lucy Rose, Stephen Graham Jones, Ling Ling Huang, Cassandra Khaw, Kylie Lee Bakera, Nat Cassidy and Isabel Cañas Fantasy Twists on the traditional adventure/quest narrative, whether that’s the form the quest takes itself or the characters you wouldn’t expect to be there. Some of her favourite authors are: James Islington, Andrew Stewart, Joe Abercrombie, T. Kingfisher, Garth Nix, Tamora Pierce, Heather Fawcett, Carissa Broadbent, J.D. Evans, Speculative fiction and grounded fantasy Literary fiction Romance Thriller Things that are probably not the right fit for her: Portal fantasy, space opera, hard sci-fi, anything about our AI overlords (we’re already living it), hardboiled crime, graphic and gratuitous violence and splatterpunk.
