Here are three new agents actively seeking clients. New agents are a boon to writers. They are actively building their lists, and will go the extra mile for their clients.
Tom Killingbeck is interested in non-fiction. Jenissa Graham is currently seeking submissions for middle grade, YA, and select adult projects. In middle grade and YA, she is interested in contemporary, action/adventure, mystery/suspense, sci-fi, fantasy, and psychological thrillers. In adult, she is only currently open to mystery/suspense and psychological thrillers.
Hannah Strouth is looking for historical fiction, contemporary rom-coms, and upmarket/literary fiction.
Always check the agency website and agent bio before submitting. Agents can switch agencies or close their lists, and submission requirements can change.
NOTE: Don't submit to two agents at the same agency simultaneously. If one rejects you, you may then submit to another.

Mr. Tom Killingbeck of
A.M. Heath & Co. Ltd (UK)
I joined AM Heath as a literary agent in 2022. Previously I was an editorial director at Penguin and HarperCollins, where I worked with an eclectic group of authors including Dame Jane Goodall, John Preston, Bella Mackie, Isabel Hardman, Sarah Langford, Ed Caesar, Adam Higginbotham, Kathleen Hanna, Bimini Bon Boulash and The Modern House. I also helped to launch the 4thWrite Prize. As an agent with over a decade of experience as an editor, I relish working closely and creatively with academics who want to reach the broadest possible readership for their writing, and journalists and memoirists with the storytelling abilities of the best novelists.
What he is seeking; I specialise in non-fiction, seeking fresh, expert perspectives on history, science, nature, politics, big ideas, smart thinking, economics, health, and the arts. I am particularly interested in writers who can open readers’ minds, improve their lives and help them see the world differently, whether that be through untold histories, ground-breaking science, or revelatory journalism. I'm always keen to find 'category killing' books that will remain the definitive work on a subject for a popular readership for a decade or more. I would love to hear from academics or public figures with a unique expertise, who are keen to find a mainstream audience for their ideas and writing. I welcome approaches from writers who are in the earliest stages of thinking about writing a nonfiction book.

Jenissa’s publishing career started at Writers House when she was selected for the Fall 2020 internship class. In January 2021, she was hired full time in the subrights department as the Global Licensing and Media Rights Assistant. She moved to BookEnds in April 2022, where she is thrilled to begin building a list as an Associate Agent and Subrights Manager. Jenissa is interested in increasing the BIPOC space in Publishing and is always on the lookout for new underrepresented authors. Born in upstate New York and raised in Georgia, Jenissa is a first-generation Jamaican. She is an alumna of Georgia State University where she received her Bachelor’s in English, Creative Writing. Jenissa currently lives in New York.
What she is seeking: Jenissa acquires in middle grade, YA, New Adult, and traditional Adult categories. Across those categories, she is looking for high-concept Fantasy and near-future Dystopia with immersive worldbuilding, but always grounded in character-driven narratives and dynamic arcs. Mysteries set in fresh, under-explored environments, where characters drive the tension as much as the plot. Genre-blending Horror with layered atmosphere. Coming-of-age contemporaries exploring first crushes, friendships, breakups, or multigenerational family stories, all centered on strong emotional journeys.
