Submissions

At International Creative Agency (ICA) we believe stories can transcend borders, spark conversations, and shift culture. Each of our agents has a unique focus and perspective. We invite you to submit directly to the person whose list feels like the best home for your work.

We represent fiction and non-fiction across a wide range of genres and voices. Please review the agent profiles to see whose interests best align with yours. Keep in mind that this is a subjective process, and that agents only take on work they feel they have a vision for.

All submissions are handled through QueryManager, which ensures your query reaches the right agent and allows you to follow its progress. We recognise the work that goes into crafting your submission, so following the guidelines below will help us to process your query within our targeted response time.

Thank you for considering ICA for your narrative. We look forward to reading your work.
