Submission Guide

We are one of the few agencies who do accept unsolicited manuscripts.

You should send manuscripts addressed to the Submissions Department as follows:

• A covering letter
• A brief synopsis
• Three chapters of the work on A4 paper, in double-spaced type on one side of the sheet only (do not bind or staple your work and remember to print your name and a contact number/email address on the cover of your manuscript).
• A self-addressed stamped envelope if you want us to return your work.
