Im new to this. So can anyone recommend a good children's picture book literary agent, or a publishing house for the above. UK based preferably.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone , firstly I hope you are all keeping well and being creative. 
 

I am a screenwriter and have several scripts with known directors and producers with connections to Universal and Netflix etc. I sold seven scripts last month alone that are now making major offers of Hollywood stars. I am searching for an agent that can help me deal with contracts and get scripts to those that are unsolicited. I have done well getting contacts and scripts up till now but think it’s time to be represented. 
 

thank you all 

Hello all

First time I have posted in the community since the website was updated. Good to be back.

My query has to do with comic strips: I drew a strip back in the mid-nineties. It is a strip I tried to get into newspapers. I only had one published. There weren't that many but I want to redraw them as they are all getting a bit faded now. My question is what year would I put on the redraws if they are exactly the same? Would I put the original year (1994) or would I have to put the current year?

I'm updating a Christmas story I wrote in 2000 and am wondering what people are doing about including the pandemic in light-hearted works. Do I ignore it and describe a pre-covid world in the hope that such normality will have returned by the time of publication, or do I slide it into the text, imagining that in three or four years' time, kids will still be regarding masks, distancing, bubbles, etc., as a real and necessary part of Christmas???

I have completed the first short story (c6000 words) in what will be a five part series for ages 6 - 10 . The second is almost complete and I have outlines of the remaining parts.

Should I detail the entire story arc to agents when submitting Part One?

The story stands alone but would also work with illustrations, is this something an agent will suggest or should it be mentioned in the submission?

I am new to the submission process so all advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tom.
