Pre-prepared Information/Advice Packs

How to Write an Effective Synopsis

Before you submit your manuscript to a publisher, independent publisher or literary agent, it is vital that you have a strong synopsis. We have prepared an information pack which we are constantly updating with comments and advice from the publishing experts about how to make sure your synopsis is effective.

How to Submit to a UK Literary Agent

We have prepared a writer's package that details how to submit your manuscript to UK literary agents. We have got together with a few literary agencies and asked them exactly what they would like from their submissions, including format, content, material and approach. This package covers everything from the presentation and format of your manuscript to how to prevent weeks of unsuccessful send-outs.

How to Submit Your Work to a Children's Literary Agent

Submitting your work to an independent publisher can be a different process altogether and it is worth hearing from a few of our independent publishers about how work should be submitted to them.
