Daisy Chandley is an agent in the Books Department at Peters Fraser + Dunlop, and also works with Tim Bates as UK sub-agent for New Directions Publishing in the US. She joined the agency in 2019 after graduating from the University of Oxford with a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She represents a wide range of authors, including prize-winners and Sunday Times and USA Today bestsellers. Clients listed on her profile include Rachael Gibson, Patrick Romero McCafferty and Dylan Brethour.
Daisy Chandley is interested in sharp, original literary to upmarket novels, including dark, boundary-pushing books. On non-fiction she is looking for insightful new voices in science, nature, art, culture, social issues, politics, and love and relationships, plus illustrated non-fiction. She is not the right person for police procedurals or commercial thrillers, and does not represent children's authors.
The agency accepts book submissions only by email. Submit to one agent only, emailing them or their assistant directly. For fiction, send the first three chapters (or around fifty pages), a full synopsis, a covering letter and a brief CV if appropriate. For non-fiction, send a detailed proposal with the covering letter and CV. The agency aims to reply within eight weeks, and no reply after twelve weeks counts as a pass. Any AI use in a submission must be clearly disclosed. The agent's email address is on the agency's website.
