Agency submission guidelines
Fiction: email your chosen agent directly, including the working title in the subject line. In the email, include a one-line elevator pitch, a short blurb, the target market and genre of your writing, and any competitions or prizes you've won for writing. Attach the first thirty pages of your manuscript and a one-page synopsis in one Word document or PDF. Do not send Pages, Google Docs, WeTransfer or DropBox downloads, and do not post submissions, or they will not be read.
Non-fiction: email your chosen agent directly, including the working title in the subject line. Include a one-line elevator pitch, a short blurb, the target market and genre of your writing, and relevant information about you (prizes, social media platform size and engagement, qualifications or career experience). Attach your proposal document and a writing sample in one Word document or PDF. The proposal should be no more than 10,000 words, including why your book is different from what has been published before, why your target market needs your book now, at least three comparable titles, and a writing sample (1-3 chapters). Do not send Pages, Google Docs, WeTransfer or DropBox downloads, and do not post submissions, or they will not be read.
Not currently accepting screenplays, short stories or poetry, and only accepting stories written in English. Submit to only one agent. Do not submit material generated wholly or partially by AI.
