Hello!
The Irish literary agents scene is extremely small (there are only three big names really!) and the majority of Irish authors submit abroad to the UK. The UK would be much more ideal for me to submit to obviously due to it being a short and cheap plane flight away.
However, I would like to submit to a handful of US agents as well, such as Laura Dail etc., because they represent some of my favourite authors who write books of a similar genre to the one I am currently trying to get published.
Does anyone know what the general protocol is on this seeing as Irish writers essentially have to enquire abroad in Europe anyway due to a small home market?
(P.S. The American agents I have bookmarked don't say anything about international submissions on their websites as far as I can tell).
Thanks Guys!
