Submissions

Have a book you want us to read? It’s difficult to say what we’re looking for until we see it, but it needs to be as good as you can possibly make it if we are to offer representation. If you can make us laugh or cry or – even better – both, then you’re definitely on the right track. We only represent poetry or picture books in exceptional circumstances, or when they’re by our existing authors, and science fiction is better represented by specialists in the field.

HUGE Publication Day for JULA!

Happy happy happy publication to six of our wonderful authors!

Sarah Moore Fitzgerald and her middle grade rags to riches novel All The Money in the World.

Amanda Block’s beautiful debut The Lost Storyteller celebrates the power and resilience of imagination.

Notes on Rape Culture – a searing and powerfully written exploration of rape culture and surviving sexual violence, written by Catriona Morton host of BBC Sounds podcast “After”.

Arrowood and the Meeting House Murders – the gripping fourth instalment in the private investigator William Arrowood series.

Pip Bird’s
The Naughtiest Unicorn on Holiday, the eight book in the hilarious children’s book series about friendship, magic and mayhem.

And the fiction debut from 
Sunday Times bestselling author Cathy Rentzenbrink, Everyone Is Still Alive is funny and moving, intimate and wise; a novel that explores the deeper realities of marriage and parenthood and the way life thwarts our expectations at every turn.

My Mess is a Bit of a Life by Georgia Pritchett – out now in hardback and paperback!

Multi-award-winning television writer and producer Georgia Pritchett knows a thing or two about anxiety. From worrying about the monsters under her bed as a child (Were they comfy enough?), to embracing womanhood, (One way of knowing you have crossed from girlhood to womanhood is that men stop furtively masturbating at you from bushes and start shouting things at you from cars. It’s a beautiful moment) worry has accompanied her at every turn.

This memoir is a joyful reflection on just how to live – and sometimes even thrive (sometimes not) – with anxiety.

Happy publication day to AJ Pearce and Xanthi Barker!


Every bit as funny, touching and cheering as AJ Pearce’s debut, Dear Mrs Bird, YOURS CHEERFULLY is a celebration of friendship, a testament to the strength of women and the importance of lifting each other up, even in the most challenging times.

Xanthi Barker’s debut publication WILL THIS HOUSE LAST FOREVER? is a heartfelt and wholly original memoir about the pain of having to come to terms with a parent’s mortality, the way grief so utterly defies logic, and about learning to see the flaws in those that we love, and let them go.

Happy publication day to Jenny Colgan whose sparkly new novel ‘Sunrise by the Sea’, is out today in hardback!


In Sunrise by the Sea, Jenny takes you on a delightful escape to Cornwall this summer in the fourth instalment of the beloved Little Beach Street Bakery series. Not to be missed!

Rose Ruane’s ‘This is Yesterday’ is out today in paperback!

Spiked with dark humour and written with caustic energy, This Is Yesterday is a story of a woman’s relationship with her art, her body, her memories, herself. It is a story of beginning, ending and becoming.

Happy publication day to Brian Bilston and Gabriel Krauze!

Happy publication day to two of our authors: the master poet himself Brian Bilston with his book of football poems; guaranteed to delight young footie fans. And secondly to Gabriel Krauze with his emotionally honest and gritty debut novel, out today in paperback.

Happy publication day to Fran Bushe

After much anticipation, My Broken Vagina by Fran Bushe is out now – the story of one woman’s funny, poignant and sometimes awkward quest to fix her sex life.

Monster Doughnuts – out now

A deliciously funny new series for 7+ readers by the brilliant Gianna Pollero. Perfect reading for little monsters and cake fans everywhere.

A brilliant and shiny-new Jenny Colgan novel hits the shelves

Five Hundred Miles From You is life-affirming, uplifting and not to be missed.
