About

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.

Looking for

  • picture books, preschool, non-fiction and graphic novels
  • books that make you feel something, whether laughter, wonder, sadness or seeing the world from a different perspective
  • stories that trust children to read between the lines
  • creators who understand the unique relationship between words and pictures
  • under-represented voices, particularly creators from working-class and lower socioeconomic backgrounds

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.
