Welcome to Apple Tree Literary
Apple Tree Literary is a dynamic and creative Literary Agency, providing the highest quality of bespoke professional management services to authors of all stripes. Based in London, Apple Tree Literary was founded in 2024 by experienced agent Max Edwards.
What we do
Apple Tree Literary represents a wide range of authors writing across fiction and non-fiction. Working with its clients at every stage of the creative process, from pitch to publication, we recognise that the publishing world is tricky to navigate alone, and pride ourselves in ensuring that our authors – and their best interests – are at the heart of everything we do.
From idea…
Whether non-fiction or novel, Apple Tree Literary works very closely with its clients from the very beginning. A strong editorial focus helps to shape manuscripts and proposals in order best showcase the talents of its authors, and create the best possible chance of commercial success.
…to submission…
With fantastic relationships with every major publisher across the UK, Ireland, and USA, we work closely with our clients to ensure that their books are considered by the right editors, and that publishing offers for our clients’ work reflect their value. With dozens of auctions and significant deals under our belt, we know how to maximise the potential of our authors’ ideas.
…and beyond
Our job doesn’t stop when you sign on the dotted line of a contract. The best literary agents are there for the entirety of an authors’ career, be that one book or many, and are always looking to support their clients every step of the way. From fighting for the right cover for a book, to ensuring that the publicity afforded to it is what our authors deserve, to positioning them for future books and celebrating our clients’ successes with them – we believe that the best chance for a book to be truly successful comes if the author is happy throughout the process, and this belief is at the heart of our very close relationship with our clients.
