Notes

Alice Williams Literary explicitly advises against using generative AI when writing covering emails, and states that AI-generated illustrations will not strengthen any submission. The agency does not respond to every submission — if interested they aim to reply within eight weeks, and writers should assume a pass after twelve weeks. Writers with serious interest from another agent are encouraged to notify the agency at alice@alicewilliamsliterary.co.uk.
