About

Teresa founded her eponymous agency in London in the early nineties.

The agency focuses on commercial and literary fiction, specialising in crime and women's commercial fiction. It is known for discovering new talent through the slush pile or recommendation, and for working editorially with authors, including those seeking a new level of success mid-career.

Agency submission guidelines

Submissions are accepted by email only. For fiction, send the first three chapters of the novel together with a synopsis of about a page and a cover letter including contact details (a phone number and address) and any relevant information about the writer personally. Children's fiction, poetry, short stories, fantasy, science fiction and horror are not represented. Writers unsure whether the agency is right for their work are advised to telephone first before submitting. Writers in the US should submit directly to the agency's US co-agent, Patty Moosbrugger.
