If you run a book club
If you'd like to invite me to visit (virtually or in person), you can download book club questions for my novels on the Books page and contact me through the form below. Please include 'Book club visit' in the subject line.
If you're a festival organiser or convention programmer
If you'd like me to appear at your event:
- For my espionage fiction, please contact Headline Books. My editor at Headline is Toby Jones and my publicist is Joe Thomas.
- For my science fiction, please contact Solaris Books (part of Profile Books). My editor is Amanda Raybould and the PR/marketing manager is Jess Gofton.
For queries about audio, translation or other literary rights
Please get in touch with my agency DHH Literary, specifically my agent Harry Illingworth.
For queries about film, television, stage or other adaptations
Please contact Emily Hayward-Whitlock at The Artist's Partnership.
If you're soliciting a blurb or other endorsement

If you have a general question about publishing or writing
Please read this blog post first, then use the search function on this website to see if I've already written about it, or check out this comprehensive set of resources for writers.
If you want me to read your work or refer you to my agent
- I can't read your work for legal and copyright reasons, as well as time constraints.
- I'm also not able to offer referrals to my agents or publishers for writers I don't know, for the same reasons.
If you're selling something
Please don't contact me to offer website SEO, marketing, book promotion, paid reviews, AI training or other pay-to-play 'opportunities'. I'll delete your email unread. If you 'wrote' your pitch with AI, I'll delete it extra hard.
Still here? Okay - you can use this form to get in touch.
