We take great pride in providing a personalised and professionally-nurturing environment to those authors we represent. We help them shape and polish their writing projects, negotiate the best possible terms in their contracts, and identify and create opportunities to build a writing career.
ADVICE
We continue to actively seek new authors, both established writers and new and emerging authors of fiction and nonfiction. We read every publishing proposal that is sent to us and always endeavour to respond within a reasonable time frame. This assessment is provided free of charge.
If we believe your book proposal has commercial merit and take you on as a client, we then work to help you structure, edit and present your work in the best possible light. Again, this advice is provided free of charge.
ADVOCACY
Once we have agreed to represent an author, we use our knowledge and networks within the publishing industry to pitch and submit your work to the most appropriate individuals in the most appropriate publishing houses. We then negotiate the best possible commercial terms with the interested publisher, always ensuring our authors understand their responsibilities, and how and when royalties will be paid.
We handle the paperwork and finances, consulting all the way. We will negotiate for the reproduction of our clients’ work in other formats and territories, and look for innovative ways to use new media to extend the reach of a work.
