UK Agents for YA novels?

Undivided_Heart · May 5, 2011

Hi All,
so I'm getting ready to send my YA novel off to some agents. I've found some, including:

The Agency, MBA Literary and Script Agents, Futerman Rose Associates, Eddison Pearson (closed til Sept), Darley Anderson Children's Agency, and Conville & Walsh Literary Agency.

However, there must be more than this, surely? Anyone have experience with any of the above? And can anybody recommend any more? Sorry for the vagueness of this! I'm struggling to find UK ones, that's the problem!

I know of several YA writers in the UK who have American agents. So you're not limited to the ones you can find over here, especially as most US agents accept e-queries and submissions now.

Check out the Children's Artists' And Writers' Year Book as it has a complete listing of UK agents.

Agentquery is also worth checking for US agencies.

Be aware though that you'll need to check out each agency's submissions criteria to make sure your manuscript fits what they're looking for/represent.
