About
Seren Adams worked at Granta and Foyles before joining United Agents in 2015. As well as assisting Anna Webber, she is actively building her own list and loves reading excellent short fiction, unconventional literary novels, and compelling narrative non-fiction. However, she is having to be very selective regarding submissions at present, in order to focus on her existing list and working with Anna Webber.

Seren Adams's Preferences
Non-fiction, narrative poetry in the vein of Claudia Rankine///I am open to submissions of literary novels and short story collections set anywhere in the world, especially those which are formally or stylistically unconventional in some way and/or are written with clarity and precision. I am looking for essays and narrative non-fiction in the vein of works by Janet Malcolm, Leslie Jamison, Anna Funder, Claudia Rankine, and Philippe Sands; I also love true crime, particularly The Adversary by Emmanuel Carrère and The Red Parts by Maggie Nelson, and I enjoy anything with an investigative element based on meticulous research. I do not represent Children’s, YA or sci-fi/fantasy.
Submission Guidelines
For all submissions, please send us a covering email containing a one-line elevator pitch and two or three comparable books, together with a blurb that you could imagine on the back of your book jacket.
For fiction submissions please also attach:
A one page synopsis which tells us the outline of your story from start to finish.//
The first three chapters of your manuscript.//
For non-fiction submissions://
Most non-fiction books are sold on proposal, so you do not need to have a complete book at this time. Please send us a proposal outlining what your book is about, why you are best placed to write it and a twenty page writing sample.
