The North is a new literary agency, founded in October 2017. But – between us – we have bags of experience: around three score years and ten. We’ve worked in all areas of of the business: not only as agents, but as booksellers, publishers and we can even boast an award-winning writer.

We’re a small agency, but we think our list of best-sellers and award winners shows that we punch above our weight.

We’re one of very few literary agencies based in the north, but – inevitably – we do most of our business with the big London publishing houses. But more than that, our writers are published all over the world, in more than 30 territories.

We don’t take on many clients but we are always on the look out for new talent. So, whatever your experience – including none at all – if you’re writing and seeking representation, then please Hit the North by going to our Submissions page.
