Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to writers in the UK. Country of Publication United Kingdom Professional Associations Member of AAA AI Policy Unknown AI policy Statistics Synopsis Slower Harriet Moore's overall average response time is slower than most agents. Collapse section Fiction Open I am drawn to novels which have clarity, energy, and intention—the acclaimed debut novels by my authors Helen Marten, Eliza Barry Callahan, and Hannah Regel are good, invigorating examples of this. At the moment, I am particularly interested in the capaciousness of the third person and novels thinking ambitiously about structure and craft. Also, always, sentences which are tactile and idiosyncratic often with an unusual devotion to the paraphernalia of daily life—a surprising propensity for using household objects, clothes, food, the weather.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: GeneralLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Email. Simultaneous submissions: Simultaneous submissions are allowed. Collapse section Nonfiction Open My non-fiction has a focus on literary biography, social, cultural and oral history, and vernacular or creative scholarship. Particularly writers who come at these genres with fresh and revisionist methodologies, books which vibrantly engage with archival work and private experience, and writers who blend the personal with the theoretical.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Lengths: BookStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Personal.Topics: Open to all/most Topics including...

Collapse section Poetry Open I represent a select list of poets which includes Rachael Allen, Sophie Collins, Eve Esfandiari-Denney, Oli Hazzard, Sandeep Parmar, and Jack Underwood. I look for surprising intonation and book-length narrative poems/projects rather than selected poems (and often the poets I represent are working on prose projects too—I am very fond of prose by poets).Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: GeneralLengths: Poetry CollectionPoetry Forms:Open to all/most Forms.Styles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Email.

Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
