BRANDON & ASSOCIATES literary agents were formed in mid 2007 to help overcome some of the genuine frustration and feeling of helplessness felt by so many first time writers trying to get their book published. 

In particular their feeling that no one cares enough about their work to read it properly.   It is our policy at BRANDON & ASSOCIATES to acknowledge receipt of all emails by return.   Of course it will take us longer to read your whole submission but in most cases we will give you an answer within 1 to 2 weeks if we are interested in your work. 

Recently, we have decided that the way forward maybe to publish some of the more deserving works ourselves.

BRANDON & ASSOCIATES are always keen to receive submissions from both established authors and first time writers.    However, we are still very discerning and only agree to represent those authors whose work truly stands out.  But before you send us your submission please read our submissions guide and the question and answer page carefully.

We have a wide range of interests including most fiction and non fiction, however other agents may be better equipped to deal with your serious poetry or short story and we are very unlikely to get excited about hard core sci-fi or your fantasy, supernatural or horror story.  

BRANDON & ASSOCIATES hope to make the whole process of getting their client’s book published as stress free as possible while securing the best deal for the writer.   At all times we shall have our client’s best interest in mind.   However, it is a slow process.   Writers should be aware that finding the right publisher might take us several months and then the publisher might take up to a year before the book appears in the High Street.  

BRANDON & ASSOCIATES make no charge for reading your submission or any fees for helping you shape your work, correcting small errors or for any advice given.   We work solely on commission payable once the book is published.   There are no hidden fees and our agency agreement is straight forward and easy to read.

PUBLISHING

There are many great manuscripts out there that never get read by mainstream publishers and so in the right circumstances, with the right author and with the right manuscript BRANDON & ASSOCIATES may even agree to publish your manuscript themselves.   If we can find the right authors with the right manuscripts then our plan over the next 6 months is to publish at least two books per month.  If you are interested then please read our publishing page.
