  • About JULA Ltd

     

    JULA Ltd is a dynamic literary agency based at Somerset House in London. The agency represents debut and best-selling authors published in the UK, US and internationally.  Whilst always looking for the best publishing deals and relationships for their authors, JULA Ltd also works closely with talent agencies in London and LA for book to film deals.

    Please note that Jo and Milly are currently closed to submissions and will reopen later in the new year. Rachel is now open to submissions, but please read her profile carefully before submitting work that may be better suited to Jo or Milly.

Our approach

The agency offers a carefully tailored approach.  Jo is determined to offer each author whatever they need, managing their careers with thought, ambition, care and, wherever possible, a sense of fun.

JULA Ltd is a member of the Association of Authors’ Agents (AAA), a British voluntary trade association providing a collective voice for all UK-based literary agents. The AAA’s members are devoted to promoting authors’ works in the domestic and global markets and to defending authors’ rights in the UK, abroad and online.

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.

Please note: Milly and Rachel are currently closed to submissions while they catch up on what they have. They’ll likely re-open sometime in January, so do check back if you have a project you think best suits them – targeted submission is always the best approach, and they won’t be closed for long.
