Lisa Baker An agent with Aitken Alexander Associates (see other agents at this agency). About I joined Aitken Alexander Associates in 2016, and became a Director in 2017. Previously Rights Director at Faber & Faber, I now run our Foreign Rights department and represent a select list of literary fiction and non-fiction.Whether non-fiction, fiction or something somewhere in-between, I look for original voices and captivating storytelling from interesting places. Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to writers in the UK. This agent may not respond to all queries. After waiting 90 days, assume your submission will not be accepted. Country of Publication United Kingdom Professional Associations Member of AAA AI Policy Unknown AI policy Collapse section Fiction Open In fiction I look for stunning sentences, convincing narratives, and that particular on-the-page magic that makes a reader pause, reflect and re-read. My authors – who include Max Porter, Jessie Greengrass, Niven Govinden and Megan Barker – have been shortlisted for the Women’s Prize, the Orwell, Dylan Thomas and Gordon Burn prizes amongst others, and longlisted for the Booker Prize.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 In non-fiction my taste is for the narrative. I love personal accounts which offset a greater political context or take me to a subject or place I know little about; writing that transports or teaches me. From my list, Yasmin El-Rifae, Helen Gordon, Chimene Suleyman and Jude Rogers all write into this space brilliantly.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Lengths: BookStyles: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.
