Agency submission guidelines
Submissions are made by email to submissions@laxfieldliterary.com. Plays, screenwriting, children's books and horror are not represented, and manuscripts in these genres will not be read.
Formatting: the title of the work should be in the email subject line. Work should be sent as a Word document, with contact details and word count clearly visible on the title page.
Fiction: include a covering note in the body of the email telling a little about yourself, a synopsis in a separate Word document, and the first three chapters of the book.
Non-fiction: include a covering note in the body of the email with information about yourself and the background to the book, a one-page summary of the project, a table of contents (or chapter outline), and two or three sample chapters.
Submissions should explain why Laxfield Literary would be a good fit for the work. Submissions which give no indication of this will be deleted.
Submissions originated, written or edited by Artificial Intelligence technology, including AI-written cover letters or synopses, are not accepted and will be deleted.
Writers with particular requirements or disabilities needing additional support with the submissions process can contact info@laxfieldliterary.com to discuss an alternative way of receiving the submission.
