Thanks @edwoodeditor.bsky.social for putting this together!
As a starting point, here is a selection of the UK literary agents who represent fiction I've found thus far here. I'll update with anyone I've missed or who joins in the future.

Fabulous Forum friend @franmcbookface.bsky.social has done the hard work for us all! See below for bookish folks to follow here in the big blue sky👇
My bookish starter pack seems fairly popular so I've created another couple to help you find authors, publishers and reviewers.

All the lists are here 👇

For those who attended our event last night with @ediliterarysalon.bsky.social and @societyofauthors.bsky.social - an example of how publishers are 'paying' authors for their work to be included in AI training.
Abominable.
