A note on the use of AI in submissions to Greene & Heaton:

The following requirements arise from what we have started receiving as submissions to us. In many cases – but thankfully not all! – we are able to detect widespread use of AI tools. Even what might seem, to you, to be harmless and helpful AI editing tools can really flatten your writing. By using them you may be missing an opportunity to secure representation by a reputable literary agency. Submissions to Greene & Heaton must be the original work of the author; submissions originated, written or edited using Artificial Intelligence (AI) will not be accepted. This includes the use of AI in your cover letter, synopsis and proposal, as well as the manuscript. by @greeneheaton

We are delighted to be bringing back our Greene Door mentoring scheme for writers from underrepresented backgrounds! 📗🚪

The project aims to discover writers and help increase diversity of representation in the publishing industry. This opportunity is open internationally to writers of colour, disabled writers, neurodiverse writers, LGBTQIA+ writers, and working class writers. We’re keen to hear from any #ownvoices writers.

We are thrilled to have met and signed several authors through Greene Door, such as Fiona Keating, whose debut novel SMOKE AND SILK was published by Mountain Leopard Press in March 2025. Another Greene Door alum, Daisy J. Hung, had her first book, I AM NOT A TOURIST published by HQ, also in March 2025. Nicolas Padamsee, from the 2022 cohort, was chosen as one of The Observer’s 10 Best New Novelists for 2024. His “politically engaged, urgently plotted” first novel, ENGLAND IS MINE, was published in April 2024 by Serpent’s Tail.

From the 2024 Greene Door programme, two more signed authors have received a publishing deal, one being UNDER A FUR COAT by Sonya Vatomsky, acquired by Manilla Press, to be published September 2026. THE HONEYMOON SUITE by Rebecca Taylor Mckay, was acquired by Christina Demosthenous at Renegade in a major six-figure, 48-hour pre-empt, to be published June 2026 as a superlead. This was followed by pre-empts in Germany and France, with further translation deals following. Three more deals by Greene Door authors will be announced later this year.

THE EYEWITNESS by Naomi Williams is out in paperback today with @headlinebooks!

Rachel Cartwright has a terrifying condition. Every 48 hours, her eyes shut - and stay that way for two long days.

When the darkness comes, she's completely vulnerable. She can't work. She can't leave her home. And worst of all...

She's certain she's not alone.

Rachel can't prove it. No one else believes her.

Except me.

As her doctor, it's my job to help her. To protect her. To watch over her when she can't watch for herself.

But the more time I spend with Rachel, the more I realise she's hiding something. A secret buried deep in her past. Something she refuses to talk about.

And now...

I think someone is watching me too.

A heart-stopping psychological thriller that will keep you up all night - from the author of The Woman in Ward 9. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire Douglas and Lisa Jewell.

ALL FOR SHOW by @paularogersauthor is out in paperback today with @choclituk!

Sun, sea, and the very last man she expected to find on a tropical island.

Dana Lequire’s book on infidelity made her a household name. What it didn’t do was prepare her for being ghosted by the charming — and devastatingly Scottish — Graeme, leaving her humiliated and more than a little heartbroken.

So when she’s offered a slot on True Hearts, the summer’s hottest reality dating show, Dana says yes. An island escape, a fake name and a behind-the-scenes exposé is the perfect hook for her next book.

Until she comes face-to-face with the one man she swore she’d never see again… by @greeneheaton

We are thrilled to share that CASH COW by Alev Scott has been selected as a @bbcradio4 Book of the Week!

CASH COW is a deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body.

The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person’s biological bad luck can be another person’s financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.

Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?

The first episode will broadcast 11:45, 13th July 2026, and will be broadcast daily. All episodes can be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002yvrf by @greeneheaton

@netflix to develop @lucyclarke_author’s novel THE SURF HOUSE into thrilling TV adaption

Set in a surfer’s paradise in Morocco, THE SURF HOUSE is anything but idyllic. Hidden beneath sunshine and waves is a mystery, and when Bea washes in, seeking refuge after a dangerous encounter in Marrakesh, she soon gets caught in the current. A woman her age disappeared one year earlier, vanishing without trace. They stayed in the same area, walked the same beaches, met the same guests, and she was seen for the final time in The Surf House.

The adaptation is being developed by the Netflix US team, and it is being directed by Ed Lilly, director of Industry and Tell Me Lies.

This will be the fourth book of Lucy Clarke’s to be adapted for screen. Two of her novels have been made into Paramount+ shows, The Castaways starring Sheridan Smith and No Escape, while The Hike was optioned by Studiocanal-backed Urban Myth Films. by @greeneheaton

EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURT, by @authorbenreeves is out today with @atlanticbooks!

Travis lives an unassuming life with his cat in a small English town. Travis also happens to be the cosmic force of Death, visiting people in their final days and hours of life, before shepherding them into whatever happens next.

He listens to their stories, doesn’t judge, and never tries to change anyone’s fate... until he meets a young, single midwife called Dalia and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter, Layla. As he gets closer to this small, seemingly unremarkable family, Travis begins to learn what it is that makes life so worth living, and so what it is that is irrevocably lost in death.

Full of compassion and deep magic, Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt might be a novel about Death, but it’s also about the joy of being alive - appreciating each day we have, from the people around us to the strange wonder of our spinning world.

"One of the most original, riveting, and moving books I've read in a long while." — Graeme Simsion, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Rosie Project

"Ben Reeves repeatedly takes us to life's most terrifying knife-edge, heartening us with the steady poetry of everyday life. This clever and vivid book made me fall in love with our collective ephemerality. I literally said, "Wow," about halfway through. The ending left me speechless." — Matthew Quick, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook

"This novel has all the ingredients of unforgettability: a plot you've never seen, characters you want to love, writing that glimmers on the page, and a spectacular ending that will smack you in the face with an aching joy. Days later, I'm still brimming." — Monica Wood, bestselling author of How to Read a Book

"This is one of the most affecting, original, and unforgettable novels I have ever read. Through the lens of death himself, we confront the highs and lows of the human experience in a way that reminds us how gritty and exquisite it is to live... Absolutely breathtaking, with a perfect twist of an ending." — Sarah Damoff, bestselling author of The Bright Years by @greeneheaton

A KILLING IN LAGOS by @amenalonge is out today with @quercusbooks!!

It’s dawn in Lagos. Sifting through mounds of rubbish dumped overnight from the affluent Island estates, a man and his son are shocked to discover the body of a young woman amongst the waste. Kike Bankole was an investigative journalist, fearless in exposing injustice. She was also the daughter of one of the most influential men in Nigeria.

Kike’s brother, Remi, works as a lawyer in London. He’s not returned to his hometown for nearly a decade after an incident that ripped his family apart. But when Remi hears of his sister’s death, he’s on the next flight, determined to stand by his family despite the wounds of the past.

As soon as he steps off the plane in Lagos, Remi is sucked back into a world he’s learned to both love and hate. Amongst a system driven by tradition, religion and the relentless pursuit of power, he embarks on a mission of finding the truth behind his sister’s murder. And as it turns out, there were many who would benefit from Kike’s death. by @greeneheaton

THIS IS LIFE by @christophegalfard is out today with @picadorbooks!

What is life? How did it first appear? Where else in the universe might we find it?

In This Is Life, acclaimed science communicator and Stephen Hawking’s former Ph.D. student Christophe Galfard takes you on a wonder-filled journey to look for the origins – and the meaning – of life. From how we know life must have had a beginning, to the extreme evolutionary turns that saw Earth’s species grow shields and weapons to fight wars that lasted millennia, This is Life tells the story of how the visionary discoveries of the past few decades have allowed us to understand what we, humans, and all other living organisms really are.

Through brilliant storytelling and delightful humour, Galfard makes the secrets of the living world accessible to all. This Is Life will transform the way you see the world, and your place in it.

'An entertaining, expert guide to the precarious, miraculous and wondrous journey to where we are now’ – Dara Ó Briain

‘A gorgeous, glorious romp through the sciences’ – David Tong, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge by @greeneheaton
