Submission guidelines
Submissions are accepted by email only, sent to the agency's dedicated addresses rather than to individual agents; those sent directly to individual agents will not be considered. AI-originated, written or edited submissions are not accepted, though AI used for research is tolerated. Poetry, young adult and children's fiction submissions cannot be responded to. Postal submissions cannot be accepted and any hard copy sent will be recycled.
Non-fiction: send a proposal to nonfiction@grahammawchristie.com including a one-page summary of the topic, a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline, the writer's credentials for writing the book, any online profile and social media, an overview of the market and competing titles, how the writer could help promote and sell the book, 1-2 sample chapters (or more depending on complexity), and contact details.
Fiction: send a submission to fiction@grahammawchristie.com only once the manuscript is complete, including the genre in the subject header. Include a one to two line elevator pitch, a 500-800 word synopsis (not a teaser, spoilers included), genre, up to five comparative titles published in the last three years, the writer's bio, how the writer could help promote and sell the book, the first three chapters or approximately 10,000 words from the beginning of the book, and contact details.
Formatting: proposals, pitch documents and sample text should be sent as attachments, preferably in Word, Pages or PDF format. The covering email should include the elevator pitch and short synopsis, and should note if the project is on multiple submission.
