Amy Cloughley of Kimberley Cameron & Associates

Whether literary, upmarket, or commercial, Amy leans toward grounded novels with a distinct sense of place. She loves a page-turning mystery or domestic suspense with sharp wit and unexpected twists and turns. She also loves well-researched historicals as well as bookclub fiction that has a fresh perspective. She has a soft spot for distinctive, strong, contemporary characters set in small towns. Amy always looks for an unexpected story arc, a suitable pace, and a compelling protagonist.

She is interested in narrative nonfiction that is immersed in a culture, lifestyle, discipline, or industry. She does not represent childrens/YA literature of any kind, science fiction, fantasy, or self-published books.

Some published titles: Burying the Honeysuckle Girls by Emily Carpenter, The Nature of Disappearing by Kimi Cunningham Grant, Saving Emma by Allen Eskens
