* Sorry - as of late February 2024, we are currently CLOSED to unsolicited submissions from writers and illustrators, in order to dedicate time to existing clients. Please do not send submissions through at this time. We hope to open again soon, and very much look forward to seeing new submissions again then. *

Alice is always pleased to hear from writers and illustrators she has personally invited to get in touch.

When we are open again for unsolicited manuscript submissions, we will post guidelines below. Following these will ensure you give us everything we need to consider your work in the most advantageous way. 

Please note that we do not currently consider submissions from writers or illustrators living outside the UK and Ireland.

During open periods, we consider all submissions carefully, and aim to respond within twelve weeks. Please don’t chase sooner than this, but do get in touch if you have serious interest from another agent.

Agents need to balance time spent looking at new submissions with work on behalf of their existing clients.  We can’t respond personally to every submission, unfortunately. If you receive a standard response, please don’t be offended or disheartened. There are many reasons we may not be the right agency for a writer or illustrator, and another agent may respond quite differently.
