@WillardFoxton & @MemphisLiz -- I think I figured it out thanks for your helpful notes. I got the submission auto-reply message afterward Thank you both.

Same reply email for me as stated below - if you didn't get the reply there might have been a glitch.

@DAForrester - i had that problem, you have to put a URL in the website box, make sure every box is filled in.

When it's logged you get a form email saying:

Thank you for considering UTA Publishing as a potential partner in your literary journey. We appreciate the time you’ve taken to submit your form and share your material with us.


Our team carefully reviews each submission to ensure we provide the best possible support and opportunities for our authors. While response times vary, you can generally expect to hear back from us within 8 weeks.


Thank you again for choosing UTA Publishing.

No email, no submission.

I filled in the online form at https://www.unitedtalent.com/publishing-submit Unfortunately, there is no indication that the form actually went anywhere. The form itself didn't reset or indicated success in submitting and no automatic email was sent. I clicked the submit button a couple of times in the hope that it was maybe an Internet connectivity issue. No good. I'm not sure which is worse: I spammed their form with multiple submissions or it never went through. I guess I'll wait a few days and if I hear nothing will try again with a note that I tried to submit and the form seemed stuck. Curious if anyone else had the same experience.

Online form, literary fiction.
