What they represent
Cody takes queries for representation in fiction and non-fiction.
He reads in both Spanish and English, and is particularly interested in representing projects first written in languages other than English. Alongside this, he is a coordinator in WME's international rights department, working with publishers around the world to bring WME's authors to new audiences in translation, and has worked with clients including Terry Hayes, Nnedi Okorafor and Mary Roach, and the estates of Isaac Asimov and Tom Clancy.
The agency accepts queries to individual agents via each agent's profile page, using the query button provided. How to submit: Choose a WME agent and query them through their profile page. Each profile gives that agent's preferred query format (how many sample pages, etc.), so review it before sending. One agent at a time: Query only one WME agent at a time, as the agents work collaboratively internally. If there is no reply within six weeks, feel free to try another agent in the department. Keep the agency posted with any developments on the project. Terms: By sending materials, writers agree to the agency's Submission Terms & Conditions, so read them thoroughly before submitting. Screenplays: The agency does not consider or represent screenplays. Fraud: WME agents contact writers only from their WME email addresses (@wmeagency.com), not personal domains such as gmail, and will never request upfront payments or fees for editorial advice. ------------------------------------- Francesca Ali: for fiction, the first three chapters and a synopsis as a Word document.
