#210 A Zoom mentoring session for an unpublished author from Kimberley Atkins, commercial fiction Publisher at Hodder & Stoughton

Your chance to chat to one of London's top commercial fiction publishers in an exclusive Zoom call where Kim will answer your questions about writing and publishing and provide advice on getting that book deal!

Kimberley Atkins is a Publisher at Hodder & Stoughton in London, where she acquires commercial women's fiction. She is actively looking for new voices in fiction and is driven above all by unforgettable characters and captivating stories. Anything that's got a really strong hook, an original protagonist or lots of twists is top of her Wish List. 

Kimberley has worked in publishing for the last ten years in both Sydney and London, where she has held roles in editorial and marketing. She has worked with a huge range of exciting and internationally bestselling authors including Jojo Moyes, Liane Moriarty, Lesley Pearse, Paige Toon and Holly Bourne.

In her spare time, Kimberley has also self-published a bestselling novel on behalf of her mother (Dani Atkins) which then led to a traditional publishing contract, seventeen international rights deals and four further novels. All of this means that she spends most of her time, both at work and in the evenings on the phone, talking about books. Which is no bad thing at all.
