Agency submission guidelines

Submissions are made via the agency's online submissions form; email submissions are discouraged as they take longer to process. Submit to one agent only, not to all agents simultaneously (material is shared internally between agents as appropriate). What to send: a query letter (including a short author bio, elevator pitch and blurb, comparative titles, and relevant information such as previous publications or simultaneous submissions), a synopsis (a detailed overview including spoilers), and a manuscript sample of the opening three chapters or 50 pages, whichever is longer. Formatting: files should be Word documents or PDFs only; no other format is accepted. If the 50-page sample ends mid-chapter or mid-sentence, it should be trimmed to end just before or after the cut-off. Not accepted: screenplays, picture books, children's books, young adult or Middle Grade.
