Authors
We believe we know what an author needs in an agent, and this is what we aim to provide:
- A passionate believer in your work, who will be a strong companion on your long-term writing journey, and available when you need them.
- A knowledgeable, efficient, honest and shrewd mediator between you and the sometimes baffling and fast-changing publishing industry, taking care of business so that you can get on with writing.
- A strong and experienced negotiator who can win you optimum contracts.
- A creative and trusted sounding board on editorial issues with deep understanding of a writer’s craft, and with the skill and experience to help shape your work to submission point, where necessary.
- An industry veteran with great contacts, who understands publishers, values what they bring to the table, and knows that success comes when an author is matched with the right publisher as partners with common goals and mutual respect.
- An agency that charges no reading, editing or other fees. We charge 15% commission for sales to both the US and UK, 25% on overseas sales, and 20% on film/TV.
