Philippa Sitters

An agent with PSA Ltd

About

Working alongside a very talented contingency of co-agents globally, Philippa aims to take the stress out of the journey from pitch to publication. She works closely with authors on readying their books for submission to publishers, making sure everything runs smoothly and fairly along the way so that every author can have the best experience before and after the book is in the hands of the reader.
Having grown up in south Devon, Philippa graduated from Leeds University with a BA in Classical Civilisation before moving to London to do a Masters in Publishing at Kingston University. Since then she's worked in literary agencies, such as Peters, Fraser + Dunlop, Sheil Land and David Godwin Associates, where she spent ten years working with a diverse group of authors and building her list.
Philippa has a broad range of interests, representing novels up and down the literary-commercial scale, as well as non-fiction, from highly illustrated to serious non-fiction. Diversity within her list is an ever-present priority.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. 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.
