Information for Agents/Publishers

Like most writers, I’m looking for an international agent or publisher to help take me to a wider audience. Although my books are set in New Zealand, I believe they are suitable for an international audience. I read books set in a range of countries!

Whatever happens, I will maintain control of publishing within New Zealand. If a book I write attracts interest, I will have New Zealand publishers knocking on my door - too late. I want those who have supported my writing throughout to benefit. I would love an international publisher as that sits well outside my area of expertise - call me!

I previously published under the CopyPress imprint - a small publisher based in Nelson, New Zealand. With The Target, I have started using my own imprint - Two Roads.

I hold all the rights to my books.
