About David
David Luxton established David Luxton Associates in 2011, a London-based literary agency that specialises in non-fiction. He began his career in publishing at Sports Pages, a London sports bookshop, and in 2003 set up the Luxton Harris Agency before founding his current agency. He represents authors including high-profile sports personalities, and was recently shortlisted for the Literary Agent of the Year award.
What David is looking for
The agency specialises in non-fiction, and David's principal interests are sport, music, food-writing and politics. It does not represent fiction, poetry, scripts or screenplays, so work in those forms falls outside what it takes on and is not what it is seeking.
Submissions
At the time of checking (November 2026), the agency is always interested in new projects, but asks writers to check its client list before sending work. It accepts submissions by email only, to an address listed on the agency's website. Submissions should include a synopsis of about 300 words explaining the book, plus a chapter breakdown showing how the book will unfold and a sample chapter. The agency says it will endeavour to reply as quickly as possible.
