As usual this list isn't exhaustive, and I never know what I might fall in love with. Submission guidelines are here blakefriedmann.co.uk/submissions

But I'm also keen to expand into science writing this year, particularly in areas of health and technology - if you have an idea, speak up!

Literary Agent
In non-fiction, as always I'm looking for groundbreaking new ideas in personal growth and self-help, and beautiful voices.

Literary Agent
In commercial women's fiction, I'm really looking for books for the 20-30 age bracket at the moment.

Literary Agent
I see a lot of YA but I'm really keen for something that's beautifully-written, emotional and set in contemporary UK (please no fantasy!)

Literary Agent
Book club novels with a secret to figure out at their centre - that partial reveal style that keeps you guessing, and turning the page.

Literary Agent
I love upmarket women's fiction novels with sprawling casts of characters, like THE SECRET INTENSITY OF EVERY DAY LIFE.

Literary Agent
Huge fan of domestic noir that gets under the skin - I've seen bad mothers by the bucketload but what about fathers and daughters?

Literary Agent
I'd love a well-written procedural detective series (think Jackson Brodie or Dublin Murder Squad) with a well-thought out mystery!

Literary Agent
My heart always leaps at novels set in my old stomping ground - Sheffield, Leeds, Barnsley, Wakefield and the Peak District.

First of all, as always, is love stories! Not enough love stories on my list. I like love stories that are clever, contemporary and fresh.
