The first UK literary agency opened in 1875.
Since then they have all been discovering and nurturing writing talent, to bring that talent to an international readership. Despite living in a digital age, they are as important today as they have ever been.
Literary agents are still the gatekeepers of publishing.
Even some of those that initially self-publish, do so to catch the eye of a literary agent.
This comprehensive list of UK based literary agencies was compiled by visiting the websites of every single one of them.
Consequently, through this page, writers now have access to the very latest details about their submission policies.
A literary agency should never charge a reading fee. Those that do have been excluded from this list.
It is common for literary agencies to occasionally close to submissions to give them an opportunity to catch up with their submissions.
It is always best to check their website with the links below for their latest status.
The agencies that frequently close to submissions at certain times of the year have been mentioned below.
Unless otherwise indicated, the agencies below are based in London.
