The Ruppin Agency, a literary agency set up by former bookseller Jonathan Ruppin, offers writers a new perspective on finding the right publisher for their work

While the Agency gladly welcomes submissions from anyone and assesses each on its own merits, writers from communities underrepresented in British publishing – working class, women, LGBTQ+, people of colour, older writers, those with disabilities, those outside the south-east of England – are particularly encouraged

The Writers’ Studio, run by author and creative writing academic Emma Claire Sweeney, offers mentoring and manuscript assessment for published and unpublished writers

Our stable of over 30 published writers, based across the United Kingdom,
offers one-to-one help to writers looking to take the next step in developing
their craft and preparing to submit their work to agents and publishers
