Looking for: Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror for any age range, including children and adults
Not interested in: anything that doesn’t fit under the science fiction, fantasy or horror umbrella.

John is a junior agent at the Bell Lomax Moreton Agency, providing administrative support across the agency and building his own small, cultivated list, shaped around his passion for Science Fiction and Fantasy.
From books with a jaded space captain, an in-over-his-head supernatural detective, or a past-their-prime mercenary crew on one last mission to all possible adventures in between, John is searching for authors who share a passion for subverting expectations and creating rich new worlds of adventure.  He is looking for anything under the broad church of SFF, from literary to pulpy, high fantasy to gritty urban, but he would especially love to hear from anyone under-represented in the genre, particularly neurodiverse writers. John is also keen to grow his horror list, but they must be in the vein of psychological terror more than straight gore-fest.
