Submissions
Laura is open to submissions at the time of checking (November 2026). The agency accepts submissions from the UK and Ireland, apart from writers coming through the Jericho Writers or I AM in Print programmes. Submissions go by email with a cover note about you, the genre, blurb, inspirations, comparable titles and why the book stands out. The email address is on the agency's website. No feedback is given; if there is no reply within 12 weeks, assume the manuscript is not right for the agency.
