Agency submission guidelines
The agency accepts submissions by email only. The agency handles full-length fiction and non-fiction for adults and children, and will also look at factual TV and original screenplays. No children's picture books, poetry, plays or musical theatre. Email your submission to the agent you think is the best fit; check the People page for what each agent represents and their email address, and note that individual agents may have additional submission criteria. For prose works, include a covering letter in the body of the email, and attach the first fifty pages of the work as a writing sample, plus a synopsis (for fiction) as Word or PDF documents, with total file size not exceeding 2MB. For prose non-fiction, a proposal (pitch and outline) should take the place of a synopsis. For graphic novels, the sample should be 20 pages of completed panels.
