Kate Hordern<\/strong> worked for the then independent general trade publisher Victor Gollancz in London for fourteen years, selling foreign rights. After relocating to Bristol, she founded KHLA in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Kate is looking for: I\u2019m looking for fiction across the range, from bookclub through to psychological suspense, crime, speculative, historical, commercial and upmarket women\u2019s fiction, with a unique hook, whether that is a very special voice or a high-concept plot or compelling characters or a combination of these. In non-fiction I\u2019m looking for history, where the author has the appropriate platform, and memoir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
