We are a literary talent evaluation service for writers of fiction. This is a new concept in Australian publishing.

We are not literary agents. What we do is we find literary agents or publishers for writers we feel have high commercial or literary potential.

You will notice that many literary agents do not accept unsolicited material from unpublished writers. This is because they tend not to have the resources to assess large numbers of manuscripts from new authors. Their specialty is representing the interests of established authors. Similarly, the publisher’s primary role is not to assess new material, but to produce, distribute and promote a book once it has been accepted for publication. This is why in many cases they do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. At Australian Literary Talent we do nothing but assess the commercial and literary potential of your manuscript. If we think your writing has potential we approach a literary agent or publisher directly.
