Catalogues. Frequently Asked Questions | Conville & Walsh Literary Agency | London and UK Literary Agents. Our commissions cover editorial advice and all the admin that goes with book submissions and promotion. We won’t charge you for any administrative, postage, telephone, fax, courier or other overhead costs. If we do something one off, like a big party, we might discuss the costs with you in advance. We work very hard to earn our commission, representing your interests in: Editing.
We give you advice and help where wanted, working in consultation with you to do as much editorial work as we feel is necessary on shaping ideas, proposals and manuscripts. We are always happy to read and comment on chapters as a book is written. Authors differ in how much feedback they want during the writing process, and we are happy to handle things accordingly. We have industry contacts and inside knowledge that most writers don’t have access to.
And we are always at the end of the telephone if a writer hits a block, has a problem, or simply needs encouragement. Internships.

The internships last for 12 weeks and you will work with agents and their assistants to gain hands-on experience of literary and talent agenting, publishing and the media.
