Every submission and query about the agency, editorial work or anything else sent from the website’s contacts page since the update on June 7 needs to be re-sent because of a glitch. I apologise for the hassle!
Hi, I’m John Jarrold. I act as a literary agent for over forty authors — check out my client list, and see news of recent deals. [portrait by Jim Burns]
If you want your novel to be considered by the agency, please e-mail the first six chapters as a Word Document attachment, or ask any questions, using the address below. The agency does not charge a reading fee.
PLEASE NOTE. THE AGENCY SPECIALISES IN REPRESENTING SF, FANTASY AND HORROR NOVELISTS FOR THE ADULT MARKET. WE ARE NOT TAKING ON NEW CLIENTS IN ANY OTHER AREAS OF FICTION OR NON-FICTION, OR WRITERS OF YA OR CHILDREN’S FICTION.
Since 2002, I’ve also been working as a self-employed editor of both fiction and non-fiction books. If you want your book edited by a professional, I can help. I can’t promise you’ll be published, of course, but I can shape your work to give it the best possible chance – more details on the editing page.
