Illustrator Submissions

We welcome submissions from illustrators who are looking for representation.  

Please e-mail no more than 5 samples (low-resolution JPEG
files) with a link to your website and social media to submissions@pickledink.com
 
You are also welcome to post samples to us but please include
​an SAE if you would like your work to be returned.

*Please do not submit texts to the submission email above - this is for illustration submissions only. 

Author Submissions

We read and consider all our submissions carefully, but we are a small team and sadly not able to respond individually to all submissions. We will only reply in person to you if we are interested in reading more.
 
We accept text submissions from debut and published authors via email only. Please read our guidelines below.

As a specialist children’s and YA agency, we are interested in seeing manuscripts for the following age ranges:

• Younger fiction (5-7 & 7-9 chapter books)
• Middle grade (8-12 years)
• YA (13+)
• Children’s and YA non-fiction proposals 

At present we are NOT considering any picture book text submissions (unless you are an author-illustrator - if so please submit via the illustrator submissions email on the left) and we do not currently represent adult novels or poetry collections.

Please include the following in your submission to textsubmissions@pickledink.com :

• Your first three chapters as a word document or text attachment. Please label your document with your name and book’s title. 
• A synopsis of your book
• A little background information about yourself, including any websites, published works or social media handles
• For non-fiction proposals, please include a little information about why you are particularly qualified to write the proposed non-fiction.    

Many thanks for considering Pickled ink. 

We do consider all material sent to us but unfortunately cannot respond to every submission.  
​If we have any questions or further requests we will be in touch.
