UK nature and environment writing has a distinctive literary tradition, from Robert Macfarlane and Helen Macdonald to climate-era books about land, species, farming, and place. Agents want more than a beautiful walk. The writing has to know what pressure the landscape is putting on the argument.
This UK page shows agents who explicitly represent nature and environment. The broad search toggle catches more who'd consider it under narrative non-fiction, memoir, popular science, politics, travel, or literary non-fiction.

Hannah represents quality commercial and upmarket fiction and non-fiction. In fiction, she is drawn to crime, thriller and horror novels with a confident voice and fresh approach, love stories ranging from smart romcoms to epic weepy narratives, and general contemporary fiction about complicated people and families—often with a mystery at its heart. She also takes on a small amount of historical fiction set in the 19th and 20th centuries. In non-fiction, she seeks lifestyle and wellbeing titles, narrative non-fiction such as memoir, nature writing and investigative journalism, cookbooks and food writing, and thought-provoking non-fiction across the arts and academia. She is not the right agent for sci-fi, fantasy, action, spy or military thrillers, children's and YA novels, scripts or poetry.
