When I started out, I didn\u2019t realise I was in the publishing industry \u2013 I worked for the Royal National Institute of Blind People where I transcribed books into accessible formats. It dawned on me that my experience could make me a good fit for a publishing company, so I went to work for HarperCollins as a digital assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then I\u2019ve worked in various roles across various publishers both corporate and independent, and I worked with a great range of authors many of whom I\u2019m still in touch with. My last job was Sales and Marketing Director at Canelo, and I\u2019d reached a point in my career where I was spending a lot of time in meetings, managing the wider team and sharing HR responsibilities with the other senior managers. I didn\u2019t have as much time to do what gets me out of bed in the morning: work with authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I left in January and wrote out to a few agents I already knew from my earlier publishing work. I met up with Kate Nash since I\u2019d been a fan of what she does for a while already, and at the beginning of July I decided to sign up to work with her as a literary agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Has your experience in sales and marketing influenced your work as an agent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely. I still feel I\u2019m in a sales role as an agent but I\u2019m looking at things from a slightly different angle. Part of our job is to know what\u2019s happening in the market so I\u2019m always thinking about what\u2019s selling and what editors are looking to commission, especially in commercial fiction which I\u2019m very familiar with from previous roles. Knowing the internal mechanisms of how publishers work is helpful too; for example, I know what happens in acquisitions meetings because I sat in them for years. There\u2019s a lot of crossover and you need a very similar skillset, you\u2019re just using those skills with the best interests of the author at the forefront of your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favourite thing about being an agent?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s working with the authors. Of course I love finding new stories, every agent does, but for me it\u2019s the collaborative relationship with people. It\u2019s things like a client telling me: \u201cI\u2019ve had an idea, can I call you and talk about it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I\u2019m passionate about \u2013 as is the agency as a whole \u2013 is demystifying the publishing industry. At first glance, the industry can appear to have all these secrets and barriers and intrigue, but it\u2019s actually quite straightforward. Yes, there are questions no one knows the answer to and there are trends that change all the time, but it\u2019s ultimately a business and a business has to work a certain way. I want to see authors approaching publishing in a more informed way, and the best way to achieve that is if the agents and publishers are forthcoming with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s at the top of your fiction wish-list?<\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read very widely but I\u2019m particularly interested in popular fiction, especially commercial crime and thriller. I\u2019m actively looking for diverse characters of all kinds in popular fiction. Since I have a hearing disability myself, I\u2019d love to find protagonists \u2013 not just side characters! \u2013 with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also looking for historical adventure novels with points of difference, which might be a focus on women, queer characters, or again, characters with disabilities &#8211; anything that centres characters who wouldn\u2019t normally get the spotlight. One of my authors, Katie Daysh, does this really well; she writes about the Age of Sail with a focus on queer characters. I love the <em>Sharpe<\/em> novels and I\u2019d love to see something like that where women are at the forefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there any genre you\u2019d rather not receive?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YA, children\u2019s books and younger voices in general. Sci-fi. I\u2019m willing to look at fantasy but it\u2019s not my speciality. I\u2019ve worked on non-fiction before but that was a while ago so I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s something I\u2019m super well-informed about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really do read widely and my time working for publishers means I\u2019ve had experience handling a range of genres \u2013 my heart isn\u2019t in romance and sagas, for example, but I\u2019m willing to hear a pitch if someone wants my advice. I\u2019ll likely have less specific knowledge of those markets than I would for crime\/thriller, but I can certainly offer an overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you want to see in a query letter? And what do you dislike?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All agents have different opinions on query letters. It\u2019s quite similar to when I worked at publishing companies and would read job applications \u2013 everyone has different opinions on what works well and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read the manuscript sample first, then the synopsis, then the cover letter, and that\u2019s because I don\u2019t want my own prejudices to influence me when I\u2019m reading the manuscript. For example, I love working-class authors, and I\u2019m aware that if I read the query letter first, I\u2019m probably going to judge the rest of the submission differently depending on my impression of the author\u2019s background. That\u2019s through no fault of their own and it doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t represent authors who <em>aren\u2019t<\/em> working class \u2013 but because I know it\u2019s a prejudice I have, I read the query letter last to prevent it from influencing how I perceive the quality of the writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t care who the letter is addressed to. If it\u2019s addressed to someone else in the company or \u201cDear Sirs\u201d, that\u2019s not going to put me off. I love to see a summary of the book in the form \u201cX meets Y\u201d \u2013 \u201c<em>Killing Eve<\/em> meets <em>The Shawshank Redemption<\/em>,\u201d for example. Those summaries give me an immediate picture of what I can expect. There are some other good ways you can include comp titles and authors, such as: \u201cMy writing is similar to the style of X,\u201d or \u201cThe themes are similar to Y.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I don\u2019t like is when people give me a lot of information about their book and nothing about themselves. I\u2019m a people person and publishing is a people industry; I want to know where you\u2019re from, what you do, how you started writing and which authors you admire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you feel about synopses? Any tips?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give me spoilers! Keep it to a page, don\u2019t ramble, but make sure the spoilers at the core of the plot are included. That includes key characters; make sure to give their names, what they do and where they end up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an author, you have to be really close to the text and that means you can sometimes lose the essential points among all the other details that seem really important to you but aren\u2019t necessary for the synopsis. It can help to give the synopsis to someone who hasn\u2019t seen your manuscript and ask them if they know what the plot is about just from reading the synopsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there anything that would grab you in the opening pages?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most of the genres I\u2019m looking for, I want to see action on the first page. I need a feeling of suspense and a reason to care about what\u2019s coming up. I don\u2019t like to see rambling dialogue and while I like to meet the main characters, I don\u2019t want to see lots of exposition about them \u2013 I want information about them to be revealed later as I read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crime and thriller especially is a highly saturated marketplace so you need to hook your reader very quickly. Opening with a crime or the discovery of a body or something like that is a good way to achieve that hook. The same goes for historical adventure \u2013 I want to see action! If there\u2019s a battle or someone getting their head blown off, great, I\u2019ll probably want to read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any final words of advice for authors in the querying process?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at authors you admire and pay attention to what they\u2019re saying because you can learn a lot from them. I know it isn\u2019t financially feasible for everyone to attend events, but if you have the chance or there are any free events nearby, go along and hear from authors and publishers. Make use of social media as well to engage with the community and stay up to date on the conversations happening at the moment, even if that means just lurking like I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check out Francesca&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/our-services\/agentmatch\/literary-agent\/francesca-riccardi\/\">AgentMatch profile<\/a>\u00a0for the full interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling with your\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/read-a-sample-literary-agent-query-letter-with-hints-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">query letter<\/a>\u202fand\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/how-to-write-a-novel-synopsis-with-an-example\/\" target=\"_blank\">synopsis<\/a>, do check out our free resources on our website.
