Politics And Current Affairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Political non-fiction<\/a> includes books about political structures, governments, and laws. These books cover different viewpoints, countries, the effects on society, and current affairs. When writing political non-fiction, it is important to stay up to date on the most recent political developments (that are relevant to your specific topic). The mass readership (for whom \u2013 if wanting to have commercial success – these books are intended) will be interested in the most current topics, and it\u2019s important to make sure that your book is accessible and clear in what you are hoping to achieve (are you looking at a specific viewpoint, aiming to be more satirical, aiming to educate?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literary agents who are interested in political non-fiction may be seeking more general topics or they may have something specific that they\u2019d love to receive, so make sure to take a close look at their wish-lists in order to determine the best agent for your book.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgentMatch And How To Use It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to develop and refine your own shortlist of UK agents for politics and current affairs is to visit AgentMatch<\/a>, our literary agent database, and use the search tools on the left to make your selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With AgentMatch you can select by genre (e.g. politics and current affairs), country, the agent\u2019s level of experience, their appetite for new clients, and much more. You can even save your search results and come back to them, allowing you to work through them one by one, at your own pace. Each profile has been researched thoroughly including what agents like to read in their spare time, information on their most recent deals, manuscript wishlists, submission requirements, and exclusive interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
