I recently had an email from
Kimberley Cameron letting me know about an update in their submissions
procedure. Since Kimberley’s agency is a
great place for new authors to submit, I thought I should do a complete new posting
on the agency. - Brian
Amy Cloughley is the newest member of the team at Kimberley Cameron & Associates. She joined in 2012 with a background in editing, writing
and marketing. Amy seeks authors with unique, clear voices who put forth smart,
tightly written prose. As a new agent, she is actively building her client list
and is looking both for veteran writers and new authors.
Amy
enjoys literary and upmarket fiction of all types in addition to commercial fiction, including
well-researched historical fiction and well told woman’s fiction. She also
loves page-turning mystery, suspense and thrillers with sharp wit and
unexpected turns. She has a soft spot for distinctive, strong contemporary
characters set in small towns. Amy always looks for an unexpected story acr, a
suitable pace and compelling protagonist.
Amy
is also looking for narrative nonfiction in which “the plot and characters are
immersed in a culture, lifestyle discipline, or industry” (meaning, I think,
that she wants nonfiction that provides both a story and an inside look at a
distinct milieu). Amy will also consider travel or adventure memoirs.
Query Amy at amy@kimberleycameron.com
For
fiction, attach a one-page synopsis and the first 50 pages of your manuscript
as Word files or as a Rich Text Format files. Include “Author submission” in
the subject line.

Elizabeth
Kracht joined the
agency in the fall of 2010. In fiction, she represents literary, commercial,
women’s thrillers, mysteries and YA with crossover appeal. She is intrigued by
untrustworthy narrators, tragic tales of class and circumstances, and
identifies with flawed and quirky yet sterling characters.

| Elizabeth Kracht |
In
nonfiction, she particularly loves voice-driven or adventure-driven memoir, and
other nonfiction projects that contribute to the well-being of the self or
others, in addition to niche projects that fill holes in
the market, offer a fresh approach or make her laugh. She also has a soft spot
for heroic nonfiction pet stories.

Cameron & Associates as an intern in the fall or 2011 after completing a

perspective, and strong voices. She enjoys literary, commercial, historical,
and upmarket women’s fiction but is particularly drawn to stories with an
international flavor, vibrant characters, multicultural themes, and lush
settings.

as real and alive as the ones created by J.K. Rowling and JRR Tolkien.

teenagers today. She is also interested in fantasy, magical-realism, and
historical fiction.
