The Ki Agency is currently open for submissions.
You can find more information on our individual taste and what we’re interested in on our profiles below. Please note that we do not cover children’s books or poetry - or any projects created using AI tools. We ask that you submit to one agent only, as we will refer manuscripts internally when they might be more suitable to a colleague.
Meg is open to queries from screenwriters and authors. For film, TV or theatre, she likes to receive the full script in PDF format. For books, please sent a full synopsis and the first three chapters / first 50 pages as a Word document or PDF. She exclusively accepts submissions via email and asks that you tell her a little about yourself in the covering email.
Fabienne is open to queries from authors only. She requests you submit a short synopsis and the first three chapters / first 50 pages as a Word document or PDF attachment along with your query letter in the body text. She is keen to get a sense of who you are from your query and happy to accept alternative formats for accessibility reasons. Like Meg, Fabienne accepts submissions via email.
Helen is open to queries for the month of February. She handles author queries via QueryTracker when she is open. Please send her the first ten pages, your query letter (and synopsis, if applicable) using https://querytracker.net/query/HelenLane. To make querying more accessible she does not require personalisation in the letter or a synopsis. But if you have one already, please include it in your query.
Meg’s work for her clients is informed by her involvement behind the scenes, previously as co-Chair of the Dramatists’ section of the PMA, on the management board of Public Lending Right, and as the external examiner for the MA in Scriptwriting course at Sheffield Hallam. She is currently Chair of the Writers’ Organisations Advisory Group, and has also served on the committee of the Association of Authors’ Agents.
Meg is happy to consider scripts in all genres, and books in some genres, especially genre fiction. Not a good bet for fiction that might be considered to be wearing a cardigan, or which is narrated by an animal.
Fabienne has come to agenting after working across the publishing industry in scouting, editorial and audio. Before publishing, she was a medieval historian, playing with an entirely different sort of manuscript for a living.
For the last few years, she ran the reviews side of Grimdark Magazine, building strong relationships across markets in genre fiction and helping the review team grow as writers. Having worked in audiobook acquisition for the German market, she is very familiar with the broader European markets. She is especially keen to champion books that have strong appeal internationally and to help authors consider the commercial side of editing their manuscript.
Fabienne loves strong voices and atmosphere, stories that have something to say about the world in both fiction and non-fiction. Her sweet spot is books that combine strong commercial appeal with a sense of social criticism - for example Lee Mandelo, Nicola Griffith, P. Djèlí Clark, Ryka Aoki or Tracy Deonn.

Fabienne is currently open to queries
She has a BSc in Environmental Science fromthe University of East Anglia and a postgrad qualification in Acoustics. She lives in London with her family and the world’s naughtiest cocker spaniel.
Helen represents Adult (and select YA) genre fiction. She is particularly looking for an Action and Adventure series this year along the lines of Clive Cussler’s Numa series or James Rollins' Sigma Series. She is also a sucker for monster romances along the lines of Lillian Lark's books. She is usually not a great fit for anything historical.
Her tastes do run towards the dark and she is slightly obsessed with monster stories in general (especially if they have giant sharks or squids). And stories set in extreme environments such as the arctic, jungle, caves, ocean, and mountains. But she DOES NOT want to read about affairs or abuse in any genre. (Her husband likes her to add here that this is nothing to do with him, she just doesn’t like sad stories). Read moreabout Helen’s manuscript wishlist here.
