Email queries:

We do accept email queries -- in fact, I encourage writers to use this form of communication.  However, I receive hundreds of email queries a week and simply can't respond to all of them.  I promise to read and consider your query.  If I'm interested, I'll reply and ask for a sample of your work.  If you don't hear from me within 5 working days, that means we determined our agency isn't right for you.

Mailed Queries:

If you've completed and polished a novel, send a query letter, a one-or-two page synopsis of the plot, and the first chapter.  Also include your biography as it relates to your writing experience, along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.  Do not send an entire manuscript unless requested.

If you'd like to submit a nonfiction book, send a query letter, along with the book proposal.  Include a bio showing the background that will enable you to write the book.  Don't forget to include the SASE.

Be patient!  Remember, we receive many queries and it takes time to read and answer each one.  We will get back to you, so please don't call us.
