SUSAN ABOUT KATE

At our very first meeting, it was clear that Kate had already put in hours of work making editorial notes on my novel before I’d even signed with her. She was approachable and enthusiastic, and I knew very quickly that she was the agent for me. In the many years we’ve worked together, I’ve been impressed again and again by how hard-working, supportive and encouraging she is.

KATE ABOUT SUSAN

Susan writes brilliant stories about loss, secrets and the difficult choices we make; brave, powerful novels that explore dark themes with deep compassion. She examines relationships, particularly between mothers and daughters, with great understanding and intelligence. She is also a warm and tireless supporter of fellow writers.
