Want to submit your book?

We do not take this act of trust lightly, and appreciate the time and efforts spent on your writing and ideas. We also understand the importance of hearing back from us as soon as possible, so we aim to reply within six weeks of receiving your work. However, due to the high volume of submissions sent to us, and our editorial work with existing clients, we are not always able to offer detailed feedback.  

When submitting to us, please share the following material as attachments to email: 

• For fiction: a one-page synopsis, the first three chapters/10k words, and a covering letter.
• For non-fiction: a proposal with a chapter breakdown, sample material, and some background to the book/why you’re the best person to write it.

We are not currently accepting submissions for picture books or cookery, and we cannot accept postal submissions.
