Submissions
We welcome submissions from writers, and we prefer to receive them via email.

While we do read and respond to all the many letters and manuscripts we receive, we would encourage you before submitting to download and read Sex, Lies and Book Publishing, our up-to-date 80-page guide to agencies and publishers, and how they operate.

It will give you a valuable insight into the world of professional representation, and how to approach agents. It will also provide a detailed understanding of what we’re specifically looking for in a new writer and how to present your work to us.

Once you’re ready, please send us an introductory message, telling us a little about yourself and the work you'd like to submit. Email us.
