How We Work with Agents
As well as helping writers tell their stories, here at Curtis Brown Creative we aim to help demystify the publishing industry and empower our students to pitch their novels with confidence.
The Curtis Brown and C&W literary agents are involved in a variety of ways across our creative writing courses:
- Exclusive pitching tips from the agents themselves. Our six-week online Edit & Pitch Your Novel course features video pitching tips from Curtis Brown and C&W literary agents.
- Individual feedback on your work. Get in-depth feedback on your pitch letters, the synopsis and your novel-in-progress directly from literary agents on our advanced Writing Your Novel courses. Or, you'll hear directly from talent agents if you join our Writing an Original TV Drama Serial course.
- Agent-led masterclasses and industry webinars. Agents regularly speak to our students in London or during online webinars alongside authors and other industry experts to talk about writing, editing and the submissions process.
- Share your opening with the Curtis Brown and C&W agents. At the end of our Writing Your Novel courses students get the opportunity to share their work with the agent teams at Curtis Brown and C&W as well as a select group of agents from other UK-based agencies.
