SUBMISSIONS
Please see below what each agent is looking for, and if your project fits, send the material detailed below. If an agent doesn’t list the genre of your book, please don’t send it! Please make sure that any material you send us, whether it’s a covering letter, proposal or writing sample, has not been written by AI.
Fiction: A synopsis, the first 3 chapters or 50 pages and a brief bio
Non Fiction: The pitch, a bio, overview of structure and a sample chapter
It is our intention to get back to everyone who submits, even if it is a turndown, because we hate being ghosted as much as you do. However, we are only human, and whilst this is the standard that we wish to hold ourselves to, the reality is that sometimes this could take a while. We do receive a lot of submissions, and in order to respond to everyone, it may mean that occasionally some of us will be closed to new submissions in order to clear the backlog. Please don’t submit to more than one of us, please be patient and please also know that we assume you are submitting to multiple agents and that’s totally fine. There is lots of waiting around and uncertainty in the publishing process, and we do want to try and do our bit in making it suck just a tiny bit less.
Jessica - Non Fiction: I am looking for business, psychology, science, medicine, tech and smart thinking from authors who are experts in their field, with strong platforms and engaged audiences. I’m currently keen to find projects on women’s health and any of the above areas considered specifically through a neurodivergent lens.
Fiction: I am looking for original, high-concept, speculative/literary adult fiction, SF (anything from near future dystopia to full blown Space Opera) and horror. I’m not currently looking for any fantasy/romantasy. I do like an old-school hardboiled detective story with a twist and am always at home to anything with very dark, very dry humour. (Full disclosure, if your main character’s full name appears in the first sentence, it’s probably not going to be one for me).
James - I am looking for sport, adventurous travel, music and books about neurodiversity. I’m also very interested in original graphic novels and non-fiction.
Jason - I am looking for history, politics, current affairs, biographies, memoirs, narrative non-fiction; alongside crime & thrillers and the next Child 44!
Joanna - I am looking primarily for crime and thriller. On the non-fiction side, I am looking for expert-lead books on health and wellness. Please note that I DO NOT represent experimental literary fiction, speculative, science fiction, fantasy, YA or children’s.
