Kate Parkin
Kate Parkin joined John Murray in 2006 after a career including eleven years at Random House, where she was most recently MD of Century, Hutchinson, Heinemann and Arrow.
Although she acquires some non-fiction, Kate is particularly interested in literary thrillers, crime novels and historical fiction. What she enjoys most is helping new writers tell their stories.
