Welcome to the homepage of the Lindsay Literary Agency. Our areas of interest include all types of children’s books, literary fiction and selected non-fiction. We are also particularly interested in debut writers and setting up authors in a career.

We have close contacts with all the major publishing houses and because we are very selective in the manuscripts we submit to editors we can ensure our authors get the attention and interest they deserve.

Our list will always be open to new authors, whether they are unpublished or mid-career.

Mike Lancaster’s fabulous debut 0.4 has been listed in the top 10 best Sci-Fi/Fantasy books for youth by Booklist and in celebration they’ve put the artwork from Mike’s book on the front cover of their May 15th issue (pictured right).

Booklist is the magazine the New York Times calls “an acquisitions bible for public and school librarians nationwide.” Mike Lancaster is a British author, but his writing has been hugely successful in America where it was published in hardback and is known as, Human.4 – and the paperback is being published later this month.

Mike has written his own post about Booklist and you can find it here http://www.mikealancaster.com/

We were alerted to this excellent vlog about Mike Lancaster’s 0.4 via a twitter feed from Egmont USA – but I think the author is from Dublin. Funny how the internet works…

We’re just back from three days at the London Book Fair having met up with lots of great UK and US editors, scouts and one film executive. We pitched lots of new book ideas and hopefully there should be some good news to announce from some of our newest authors soon.

Here’s a picture taken from the International Rights Centre looking down over the fair! (above right)
