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.
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.
