Colwill & Peddle is an independent literary agency with a difference.
Please be aware that scams are sadly on the rise. Many agents and editors across the industry are being impersonated by scammers. Please be vigilant – Colwill & Peddle will only send emails from our agency address ending @colwillandpeddle.com and will never ask for payment from prospective authors. If an ‘agent’ is asking you to pay for their services then this is a red flag. Please be mindful of impersonators using gmail email addresses, misspellings or variations on our domain. If in doubt please forward on any suspicious correspondence to us at submissions@colwillandpeddle.com
“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... [it] is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin
