Kimberley Atkins joined WME’s UK Book division in 2025 after sixteen years working at major Big Five publishing houses in London and Sydney, where she acquired and published numerous Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling authors, including Lucy Score, Stephanie Garber, Paige Toon, Gillian McAllister, Sophie Cousens, and Holly Bourne. She is now actively building her client list, representing commercial fiction and non-fiction, and is especially drawn to pageturning novels with strong hooks, distinctive voices, and memorable characters. A former editor, she brings a handson, developmentfocused approach shaped by her work at Penguin Michael Joseph, Hodder & Stoughton, Head of Zeus, and Penguin Random House Australia, and she has participated in writers’ festivals, conferences, and editorial mentoring internationally. With extensive experience shaping hundreds of manuscripts—many of which became international bestsellers—she is passionate about close collaboration with authors and is particularly enthusiastic about working with writers from Australia and New Zealand to help their work reach a global readership.<\/p>\n
