In this article we’re going to guide you through everything you need to know about finding a UK literary agent – from agent submission guidelines to fiction submissions, how to write a covering letter to understanding genre when it comes to choosing your agent. Here are the 7 simple steps you need to take when searching for a UK literary agent: 1. ...
Literary agents are the gatekeepers of the book world. This can be a bitter sweet reality because, although they weed out books that aren’t a good fit for traditional publishing, they are also the people standing between you, a top publishing house, and your dream of becoming a bestseller. When it comes to traditional publishing – especially the Bi...
Check your Genre
Most agents are fairly eclectic in their tastes. My own agent handles high-end literary fiction, some very serious non-fiction … and some very successful commercial women’s fiction writers … and crime fiction … and some fun, light non-fiction too. He’s actually typical, rather than unusual. That said, agents – like any readers – do have their passions and it’s no use at all sending your speculative fiction to agents who just don’t handle the genre. But be creative. If you’re writing a thrille...
An agent near you?
The fact that there are over 400 literary agents in the UK can be overwhelming. Where do you begin? (Remember, you can jump straight to our list of agents or keep reading.) In term of location, don’t worry about finding an agent near to where you live. For one thing, most UK agencies have a London office – because that’s where most publishers are. There are good agents also in Dublin and Edinburgh, but not a lot outside those places. That just doesn’t matter. Zoom exists. Phones exist. Trains...
Finding agents open to submissions
You need to approach literary agents who are keen to hear from people like you. It’s pointless wasting your energy on the rest. That means you want UK literary agents who: 1. Are open to submissions in your genre 2. Welcome submissions from new writers via their slushpile (this sounds scarier than it is, it just means adding your submission to their large pile of other unsolicited applications) You can just Google around, or you can use our AgentMatchtool. Our tool is comprehensive, but the r...
The best number of agents to focus on, at the beginning, is 12-15. Fewer than that you’re not giving yourself a chance (some agents may LOVE your book, but it may be too similar to something they already have or they simply don’t have the time). Conversely, if you keep submitting after more than 15 rejections, with no concrete feedback and no full ...
Whether you write diverse fiction or popular science, commercial or non fiction, the best way to be rejected by any literary agent is to not follow their guidelines. Most agents ask for a Word document or pdf. They’re unlikely now to demand a particular font – but don’t be weird, or too small. A Times New Roman font at 12pt won’t go wrong. I use Ga...
I’ll keep this brief (we have many blogs on how to write a synopsis) but this is an important part of the submission process. A synopsis is a summary of your entire book, preferably over two pages or 600-or so words. You can’t get your whole novel into this kind of space, so don’t even try. Simply, ensure your synopsis focuses on the main character...
In short, a query letter (or ‘covering letter’) is a simple introduction to what you’re looking for, a brief summary of your book, and some info on you. 1. Explain that you are looking for representation and why this agent is the right fit for you and your book. 2. Add your one line book pitch and an intriguing premise. Including why you were inspo...

Please feel free to browse these case studies for inspiration, support – and a reminder that this road can be long and winding … Dominic Brownlow – Helen Parusel – ...
We have an excellent selection of interviews with leading literary agents. They’ll tell you what they really looking for, the things the bother them the most and much else. Reading these interviews is also a brilliant way to remind yourself that agents are human, genuinely keen to uncover talent – and are every bit as passionate about books and rea...
These days, the publishing world is much more diverse than it used to be. You can have publishers that are traditional (in the sense that they’re highly selective about what they take on) but operate “digital-first”, meaning that books appear as ebooks or online-print only. These publishers can be independent or operate as autonomous arms within la...
