Fraser Ross Associates represents mainly, but not exclusively, writers and illustrators for children.

We enjoy working with our clients in many different ways. Our aim is to support them in establishing and sustaining successful careers as published writers and illustrators.

Please read the following guidelines before making your submission.

Submission Guidelines for Fraser Ross Associates:

All work should be sent hard copy, one side, double-spaced and with pages numbered.

We do not accept email submissions or submissions on disk.

• For novels, please send the first three chapters (or equivalent)
• Word count of the complete novel (or equivalent)
• Synopsis of novel (Please note - we need a synopsis, not a blurb.)
• For picture books, please send the complete manuscript. If you are the illustrator, please include 2 or 3 sample copies of your artwork - colour and black and white - plus a rough storyboard/thumbnail sketches of the complete story, or, if you prefer, a dummy rough of the proposed book.
• A writing cv including past publications, publishers approached and results, and your writing ambitions.
• If you wish your manuscript returned, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope. We cannot return manuscripts to writers living overseas.
• Full contact details

Fraser Ross Associates rarely accepts play scripts, short stories or poetry.

Please do not submit unfinished work; we want to see work at the stage at which you consider it publishable.

Please enclose a reply paid postcard if you require acknowledgement of receipt.

Because of the volume of submissions received and our commitments to existing clients, it is likely that you will have to wait some time for a response. And regrettably, we are unable to give individual consultations.

Fraser Ross Associates can take no responsibility for the safe arrival or return of any manuscripts and/or artwork samples submitted.
