FILM & TV DEPARTMENT SUBMISSIONS

 

Please note that we do not accept submissions originated, written or edited by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. This includes use of AI to write your cover letter or synopsis, or to submit your work.

How to submit?

You can check our agents’ pages in the ‘Our Team’ section to find out which of our agents are currently open to submissions. Take a close look at the details of their clients and interests. Where you feel there is a good likelihood of a taste/genre/interest match, then email one – and only one – Film & TV agent. Please don’t query multiple agents, as it duplicates effort and can cause confusion. We are a very collaborative team, right across the agency, and if we feel that your work could be better suited to another agent in the department, we will share your submission accordingly. See below for what should be included in a submission.

What should be included in a submission?

Before submitting, please ensure you have prepared all the materials below:

A short email with brief details about you and some context around your writing experience and ambitions (i.e. what you have written, had published and produced; any studies, if relevant; and where you see your writing career taking you.) It can also be helpful for us to hear of examples of a writer or writers whose work and career you admire, and what you aspire to achieving.

Then add the following attachments:

  • A writing CV and 3 pitches for future projects (a short paragraph each, with a maximum word count of 100 words per project)

  • A full writing sample, including a one-page outline at the beginning of the document

Tips

  • We recommend you look very carefully at each agent’s bio details and client list and then submit only to an agent where you feel there is a good chance of alignment with your work. As mentioned, we do share between us if we feel a submission would be better seen by a colleague.

  • Always send your best writing sample, ensuring you have checked format and spelling.

  • The more context about you as a writer we have, the better we can assess your submission and potential.

  • Always be courteous in your correspondence.

When will I have a reply?

Owing to the enormous and increasing volume of submissions that we receive daily, we regret that we cannot guarantee a reply to your submission. We respond to as many submissions as we can but do not have capacity to send individual responses to every submission, and we cannot offer feedback on any submissions that we are unable to pursue further.

If you have received no response 4 weeks after the date of your submission, it can generally be assumed that we are not able to take matters further, although we are happy to receive an enquiry email after 4 weeks have passed. If you have had interest from producers or agents, or there is similarly exciting news on your submission, please let us know by email.

We are not able to give editorial feedback or detailed reasons as to why a project is not suitable for the agency. 

We can take no responsibility for material submitted to us that may be lost or damaged.
