UK Literary Agencies Directory

Finding a reputable literary agent is an important step for authors seeking traditional publication. Author Gate provides an independent, curated list of UK literary agencies, created to help writers identify established agencies and begin their own submission research.


Literary agents typically act on behalf of authors to submit manuscripts to publishers, negotiate contracts, and manage rights. Each agency has its own areas of interest, submission guidelines, and requirements, which may change over time. Authors should always review an agency’s official website and follow its current submission instructions before making contact.


This directory is regularly reviewed and updated to maintain accuracy and usefulness. Its purpose is to support informed decision-making and provide authors with a clear starting point for researching literary representation in the UK.
