*We are always looking for work that “startles” us, is complementary to our existing client base and that we believe has clear commercial potential.

We are grateful for the high volume of submissions but are only able to take on a small number of new clients at any time. Every submission is reviewed carefully by one of our agents and following our guidelines ensures we don’t miss important information about you and your work.

We wish we could respond to every submission individually, but this is not always the case. If you do not hear from us within four months, your submission has been unsuccessful.

For representation enquiries, please contact us at info@keypeoplelm.com using the following guidelines*
