Author and publishing services are key components in the publishing industry today. LGC produce submission and print-ready manuscripts for their own non-industry clients, literary agents, publishing houses and the big self-publishers. Find below some information about these options.

Our plan will be to move your project into the market according to your publishing goals and the project’s potential, so we aim to team up early with the right agent, publishing house or self-publishing company in this journey.

Submissions to Agents and Publishers

Once a manuscript is ready for submitting, we will prepare the key documents for this process and support our clients during submissions to literary agents and publishing houses. We will leverage our contacts in the trade as we help clients move forward into the market. We want to get your book in shops as much as you do.

For more info on this process, see our Submissions and Proposals pages.

LGC Enquiries

We are selective about the projects we take on for development. If we work on your project, it is because we’d like to back you, and we believe your project has potential.

With our enquiry form, priority will be given to those who complete all the requested information. The questions are there to help us help you. Your enquiry does not need to be well-written; we just need to get the essence of your project.

Self-Publishing

Our goal will be to secure you a traditional publishing deal. We want to see your book go through the traditional system with the backing of a literary agent who will manage you as a writer and help you secure a publishing contract. Nevertheless, some projects don’t find a home, and some books—especially business titles—belong to the big self-publishers.

For self-publishing, we choose to partner with independent publishing companies that operate similarly to traditional publishers. Such companies offer tailored approaches, allowing them to operate outside the confines of the traditional publishing process whilst maintaining top standards. Such ‘hybrid’ companies will produce your book as well as (on occasion better than) a traditional publisher. There are also some ‘big’ self-publishing companies that we recommend as they adhere to a publisher-standard design process that we like.

Authors, Agents and Publishers

Sometimes, our clients are literary agents or publishers who need support on specific projects. Occasionally, new writers or established authors come to us via their own agent or publisher if they have agreed to write a book for them and need support in fulfilling their contract.
