Named a Bookseller Rising Star in 2021, Max has established himself as one of the pre-eminent agents for serious and narrative non-fiction writers in the UK, as well as a leading agent of literary and speculative fiction. His authors include a number of world-renowned academics, journalists, politicians, high-profile memoirists, and novelists, particularly in the speculative space. With a strong eye for authors with unique insight, ideas, and influence, he has a fantastic sense of what appeals to both publishers and consumers, and works very closely with his authors editorially.
What he is seeking: In fiction, we are particularly interested in literary and speculative fiction of all types — particularly where the two overlap. We are, however, interested in all adult and YA fiction — you never know, we may just fall in love with it. Please note we do not represent children’s fiction below Young Adult.
For Non-Fiction: Apple Tree Literary has an outstanding list of non-fiction authors across academics, journalists, memoirists, experts and high-profile names. We are particularly keen to hear from those telling untold or unknown stories, and experts writing about fascinating new ways of understanding our world.
How to submit: For fiction: Send a short covering email, and attach a one-page synopsis as well as the first three chapters or 7,500 words of your manuscript, and send to: submissions@appletreeliterary.com For nonfiction: Send a covering email outlining your book, why it has a place on the bookshelf and why you are qualified to write it. If you have a proposal or a sample chapter, or the whole work, if it is completed, please include these alongside the query as an attachment. Please send to: submissions@appletreeliterary.com and not to any individual email address.
