82 UK Literary Agencies Seeking Clients

| Hail Britannia! |
Sometimes, I feel like giving up on American agents: form rejections, or (even worse) no rejections, and the perpetual "your work isn't right for me." You want them to say anything personal about your submission, just to know they've read what you sent them.
When all else fails, there are the Brits!
Not all of the agencies on this list will accept an American writer. But, I can guarantee you that if a rejection is forthcoming, it will be personal. I find that uplifting.
Because of the international nature of publishing, British agents can sell to publishers with world-wide distribution. And it is certainly more rewarding to work with an agent who sees you as an author, rather than a commodity. Check the website to see if the agency works with international authors.
