Submissions

If you have already been published by a major publisher and are thinking about reviewing your representation, then please use the contact form here. Otherwise, read on.

For Unpublished Authors

Like most agents, we like nothing better than discovering brilliant new talent! Please take a few minutes to review our submission requirements below: it’s very much in your interests to make your submission as strong as possible.

Are You Ready?

There’s little point in submitting work that is not as good as you can make it. Redhammer has supported Litopia Writers’ Colony for many years: Litopia is the ‘net’s oldest writing community, and it provides an excellent environment in which work can be developed and skills polished. The Colony welcomes all writers who take their craft seriously.

How To Submit

We only accept unsolicited submissions made using the form below.  Please do not send manuscripts by post.

All fields are required.  In the Description of Work box, please write no more than 250 words that provide an overview of the material: the sort of summary you might find on a jacket blurb.

The attachment should be a document in either .doc, .docx or .pdf format only. It should contain approximately the first 10,000 words of the manuscript (not the entire work). If we want to see the whole work, we will request it. The attached document should be no more than 2 megabytes in size.

Please note: you must check your document for viruses with an up-to-date virus scanner. Documents that are sent infected will be automatically deleted by our system before being read.

What Next?

We receive many submissions and to give each one due consideration may take some time. You should not expect a response for eight weeks.
