Submissions
Submissions
We are always excited to read submissions from potential new clients. We welcome and actively encourage submissions from authors of all backgrounds, including those currently under-represented in publishing.
Whilst we do consider submissions from international authors, given that we are based in the United Kingdom, we feel that US-based authors will generally be better served by a US-based agent.
For guidelines on how to submit to each agent, please see their individual preferences on their agent pages (above). Please do not send your work to more than one of us. If we feel that your submission is more suited to another agent within the agency, we will pass it on to them.
We do not believe in asking authors to send us their material on an exclusive basis, as it is not in your best interests to do so; however, we do ask that you let us know if another agent is considering your full manuscript.
We do not charge a reading fee.
