The Originate Literary Agency is a brand new multi-media agency representing a diverse range of writers, creatives and original content creators making change through storytelling. Books can take you anywhere and change lives for the better. We are passionate advocates not only for the stories we wish to tell but for books and reading as an art form that has proven itself time and again to be a massive force for social change.

When during the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln met the author of the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852 and remarked ‘So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that made this Great War?’, it was later widely acknowledged that the novel was key in challenging people’s long-held beliefs about slavery and contributed to its abolition. Game-changing, powerful, disruptive stuff. These are the books, people and stories the Originate Literary Agency is looking for. Books that change everything.

Purposeful use of stories to influence, inspire and educate can change individual lives, fostering greater empathy and understanding, building confidence and resilience. Originate Literary Agency is all about platforming new voices on a global stage, pushing boundaries, creating change and challenging ourselves as readers and authors. Books are magical. Social change through storytelling is at the heart of what we do. Whoever you are and wherever you live, there are no limits on imagination, books can take you anywhere and change lives. So go for it, originate!
