None of the Canadians answered. From a dozen UK agents about half requested material….one declined last week, the rest….

Can anyone suggest some UK agents? I have only found a few on QT and less on google. Then again, my search habits aren't up to par. A few suggestions of reputable agencies would be greatly appreciated!
Good luck to all!

Wow Pilot that is so helpful. My book too takes place in England so I'm starting to consider the Brits. Right now I have only one partial out so I have a long way to go.
Thanks!!!:)

Thanks so much, pilot!  That's some list!  Will keep me busy for a while with my 'too skewed for US market' Brit-based rom-com. Much appreciated!  |

If you have a UK agent, does that mean they'll only publish in the UK at first? Might they submit to US and UK publishers at the same time, or wait to see if the novel does ok in the UK before publishing in the US?

 thanks Newday! I'm looking forward to hearing more and more good news about your book. So your agent is from the UK? Did they tell you ahead of time that they were going to pursue UK AND US publishers at the same time?
