Independent guidance for authors · Your work remains yours.
PrimeLibraryAgents — Literary Agency Consultancy
Find the Right Literary Agent for the Book You Wrote.
We match your manuscript with the literary agents most likely to champion it, and prepare your manuscript submission — query letter, synopsis and opening pages — to land on the right desk.
The PrimeLibrary approach
Great Books Deserve To Reach The People Who Can Champion Them.
Most strong manuscripts are not turned down for their writing. They are sent to agents who were never going to take that kind of book.
Our consultants study what agents are actively acquiring, match your manuscript to the lists where it belongs, and help you prepare a submission that reads as professional from the first line.
Personal, practical, and built around the book on your desk.

Before You Get In Touch.
Are you a literary agency?+
We are a literary agency consultancy. Our consultants research the market, match manuscripts to the agents most likely to want them, and prepare your materials so every submission reads as professional.
Can you guarantee an agent will sign me?+
No one honestly can. Agents and editors make subjective decisions about what they can sell. What we can do is make sure your work reaches the people most likely to want it, in the form they expect.
Do I keep the rights to my manuscript?+
Always. Nothing you send us transfers copyright, licence, or any claim on your work.
