We represent authors from all over the world, with a specialism in international rights sales. There are authors for whom we sell translation rights only, and those for whom we also sell English language rights. We also sell English and translation rights on behalf of many literary agents in the UK, ROI, US & Canada and Australia.
Today we are a team of expert agents, with more than 50 years’ experience between us, who regularly meet with publishers based in the UK and also attend major book fairs and undertake overseas trips to make deals, pitch books, maintain and develop relationships with customers and acquire relevant market intelligence.
The agents are ably supported by an experienced office-based staff handling diary management, contract, permissions and tax form administration, and client accounts.
Most of our clients join us through recommendations, so we are not accepting any unsolicited manuscripts at this time in order to give our full attention to our current clients. We would recommend authors looking for representation talk first to Cornerstones a UK literary consultancy with a division in the USA who work mainly by word of mouth within the industry. They offer professional editorial feedback, are a teaching-focussed company, and scout for agents. If and when your manuscript is ready to submit to agents they may refer you back to us.
Since 2009 we have been based in offices in the heart of London’s Mayfair at 50 Albemarle Street in the iconic John Murray building, just off Piccadilly.
We are members of the Association of Authors’ Agents and subscribe to its code of practice.
