Submission guidelines
The agency is looking for literary and general fiction, and non-fiction, especially memoir, autobiography, biography, cookery and travel writing. It does not represent crime, thriller, science fiction, fantasy, film/TV scripts, plays, young adult or children's books. The agency does not wish to consider submissions written with generative AI tools; any AI use must be disclosed, non-fiction proposals should not rely on AI-driven research, and writers are encouraged to write their cover letter without AI assistance. Submissions should be sent by email, following the guidelines below; submissions not adhering to these guidelines will be deleted. Fiction submissions: send a covering email introducing the work and any relevant information about the author, with name and title of the work in the subject header. A short synopsis and the first three chapters (or approximately 50 pages) of the finished work must be attached separately in Microsoft Word or PDF format, double spaced and page numbered. Non-fiction submissions: send a covering email introducing the work, including relevant professional expertise or credentials showing suitability to write the book, with name and title of the work in the subject header. A proposal about the subject and its necessity, a chapter outline and a writing sample (approximately 30 pages) must be attached separately in Word format, double spaced and page numbered.
AI policy
The agency is dedicated to defending the unique value of authors’ original, human-created work, and does not wish to consider submissions written with generative AI tools. If you have used any, you must disclose this in your submission.
