About

Genres
Looking for
- picture books with artwork and stories that feel full of life, strong characterisation and genuine emotional impact
- non-fiction that brings fresh energy to familiar subjects, through a new perspective or by experimenting with style and format
Agency submission guidelines
Submissions go through the form on the agency website; postal submissions are not accepted. Authors: for picture books, upload the full text of your story. For fiction and non-fiction, a synopsis and the first three chapters. For graphic novels, a synopsis and the full script. Author-illustrators: for picture books, a pdf of your full text and some art samples. For middle grade, a synopsis, three chapters of text and some art samples. Illustrators: a pdf with at least ten samples and a link to your website or social media. Worth knowing: allow up to two months for a response. The volume received means only submissions the agency wants to pursue are guaranteed a reply.

Georgia Tournay-Godfrey
Georgia's passion is ideas: finding them, shaping them and connecting them with the right publishing homes. She works across picture books, preschool, non-fiction and graphic novels, helping writers and illustrators develop their storytelling, refine their concepts and build long-term careers. Championing under-represented voices drives her work, particularly creators from working-class and lower socioeconomic backgrounds whose stories and perspectives have been overlooked.
