Christian literary agents?
Hi, we are desperately looking for a Christian literary agency in the UK to submit our book idea to…does anyone have any ideas?
I can’t think of a valid reason the beliefs of your agent enter into the mix. I would think that ideally you’d want an agent who is able to sell your book to Christian publishers who can place it in bookstores, including Christian outlets. The agent who is able to do that might not be Christian.
What I’d do, if I were you, is visit bookstores large and small, noting the titles, authors, and publishers of the Christian books for sale. Check the dedication or acknowledgements pages, since agents may be thanked by name.
At home again, I’d get online. At their websites, I’d determine whether the Christian publishers accept manuscripts only from agents or whether I might deal with them directly. If I do need an agent, I’d use a good search engine and seek the word “agent” in combination with each Christian author’s name.
Best of luck.
Blech, don’t submit to Focus on the Family- at least, not if you want anyone to respect your writing. I mean, these are the people who went around saying that Spongebob Squarepants promoted the “homosexual agenda.”
To my knowledge, many of the largest publishing houses have smaller offshoots that specialize in different areas, including Christian fiction. I’d contact the major publishing houses and see what they have.
Does anyone know any literary agents/publishers intrested in christian fiction manuscripts?
UK based writer with several manuscripts also looking for publishers intested in short stories,inspirational poetry. Anyone read – Purple hibiscus by Chiamanda Adiche or Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe- anyone know of any publishers looking for a new African voice out there?
