Notes
Susanna Lea Associates operates out of Paris, London, and New York, and keeps a deliberately small, eclectic list focused on remarkable writing, fresh voices, and underrepresented perspectives. The agency does not consider poetry, plays, screenplays, academic texts, or illustrated works. Writers should submit only to the office covering their territory: Paris for French-language work, London for UK, ANZ, and Commonwealth submissions, and New York for North American submissions.
