Agency submission guidelines

Writers should look at individual agents' pages for their specific wishlists and submission guidelines, and choose the one agent who seems the best fit for the book, since each agent has their own boutique list reflecting personal tastes and specialisms. For children's submissions, writers are directed to a separate Children's Authors and Illustrators section. During the submission process, writers should note if another agent has requested the complete manuscript or made an offer of representation.
