FAQs

How do I find if an agent has the rights or represents a particular writer?

Use the search facility and then contact the agent direct. WritersServices does not represent the agents so we cannot help.

How can I find who represents a title or a writer if they are not listed?

Try one of the organisations that specialise in administering rights.

Can you give me the phone number or email address of an agent?

If the details are not listed, it is because the agents do not want them published so we cannot help. Please check that the agents are happy to receive via email before submitting a MS.
