Writers should check each agent's profile page to see what they are looking for before choosing who to submit to, sending to only one agent (not all simultaneously), since material is shared between agents at the agency. What to send: a query letter, a synopsis, and a manuscript sample. Query letter: should include a short author bio, the elevator pitch and blurb of the work, comparative titles, and any relevant information such as previously published novels or simultaneous submission to other agents. Synopsis: a detailed overview of the book, including spoilers. Manuscript: the opening three chapters or 50 pages, whichever is longer. A prologue counts as a chapter. The sample should end at an appropriate point (just before or after the cut-off if it would otherwise end mid-chapter or mid-sentence). Formatting: files should be Word documents or PDFs only, attached to the online submissions form. How to send: submissions should be made via the online submissions form, not by email. Not accepted: screenplays, picture books, children's books, young adult or Middle Grade, and AI generated material. Liza DeBlock: looking for books that blend beautiful writing with fun, hooky scenarios in fiction, and informed ideas or experiences in non-fiction that teach her something new. Laura Heathfield: looking for commercial fiction across genres such as crime, thriller, suspense, bookclub, historical, and romance, as well as select non-fiction, prioritising books that are entertaining and hard to put down.
They do not accept submissions of AI generated material.
