Description

The agency specialises in SF and Fantasy, but also deals with horror. No other types of material are accepted.

After fifteen years in the UK publishing industry as editorial director of three imprints, I am aware of the market on both sides of the Atlantic, and the editors to approach.

Handles adult books in the fields of science fiction, fantasy, and horror only. No nonfiction, children's, or young adult. Contact by email in first instance - see website for full submission guidelines.

Also offers editorial services which are "completely separate from the literary agency".

I am known as Lliam - see earlier post - and I still have not heard from this agency since I submitted entire MS in 2011...I have since written 5 books...shows you how much time has elapsed and still no reply either way!

As directed via the website, I sent a synopsis and the full manuscript and have never had a reply from this so-called agency - not very bright are they, or maybe just Plagiarists! Sent them another reminder almost a year past the first posting, still not a word from them - do they exist at all?

I sent off a synopsis and the first few chapters, I then waited, and waited. Eventually,after I emialed to ask if he had received my work I had a short and rather terse rejection which must have taken all of 2 minutes and seemed to imply that, since he didn't like the first paragraph he wasn't going to bother reading the rest of it.
