London
Established in 2007, the London office represents a diverse list of fiction and non-fiction authors, ranging from memoirs to popular science, and historical fiction to crime/thrillers. We are actively looking for new authors for our list, and are open to submissions.
To submit to us, send us your submission package to london@susannalea.com. Please see the submissions page for more details on how to submit to the London office and see here for a useful guide regarding what we are currently looking for in particular.
We are a boutique agency with huge international reach, and aim to offer our clients the best of both worlds: the time and personal attention that a small list affords, with the benefits of having agents on the ground in North America and Europe. We handle film and TV rights directly, or via a co-agent where appropriate. We have a strong focus on all rights sales, and the whole SLA team works together to ensure that projects are sold as widely as possible. As an example, we have recently sold 40+ languages in The Glucose Revolution and 30+ languages in Go as a River, and film/tv rights for Margareta Magnusson’s The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, and Alexandra Potter’s of Confessions of a Forty-Something F*** Up.
Our London office consists of Thérèse and Una, and you can find out more about our team and their taste in books below.
We are members of the Association of Authors Agents.
