Questions writers ask about UK-based agencies, managers and production companies

How many UK-based agencies, managers and production companies are listed?

36 at the last count, each checked against the organisation's own pages and dated; the newest verification is 25 August 2026. Organisations are researched and added in verified batches.

Which of these doors can a writer actually use?

4 are open to submissions, 4 take query letters only, and 1 runs submission windows. The rest are reachable via representation or closed to unsolicited work, and each listing says what gets a script through anyway.

How current is this?

Every entry shows the date its door state was last verified. Doors a writer can act on are rechecked most often and flagged on the page once they pass three weeks; the page tells you to confirm on the official site before acting if a stamp gets old.
