Ready to submit?

Our Agent Submission Package will help ensure your work makes the strongest possible first impression.

Working with one of our experienced editors, we'll fine-tune the essential elements that agents look for: your opening three chapters, synopsis, and covering letter. We understand the UK literary marketplace intimately and know what catches an agent's eye – and what doesn't.

Your editor will provide detailed feedback on your sample chapters' opening hook, narrative voice, and pacing, help you craft a compelling synopsis that does justice to your story, and ensure your covering letter strikes a professional tone while letting your unique voice shine through.

Whether you're submitting to agents for the first time or looking to refine your approach after previous submissions, we'll help position your work for success in a competitive market.

I was extremely happy with the agent submission package from start to finish. Emily also went above and beyond the call of duty answering a few follow-up queries. The feedback on my opening chapters made perfect sense and was easy to follow, she helped me fine-tune my covering letter and was enormously helpful with the tricky process of writing a decent synopsis. I have recently been put in personal contact with a best-selling author who described my synopsis as ‘perfect’. I would strongly recommend The Book Edit and if you’re hesitating, I’d urge you to take the plunge.
