Writing a Proposal
Proposal Guidelines
We consider fiction and nonfiction for the adult and children's trade markets.

Authors interested in securing representation for their work should send a brief query letter via email or snail-mail that describes their project and qualifications for writing it, emphasizing any "platform" or audience they have developed, and any writing and publishing experience.

A fiction query should include a synopsis briefly describing it (approximate number of words or double-spaced pages, main characters, genre, and works to which it might sensibly be compared) and it should always give author contact information and relevant biographical information. NEVER SEND AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. DO NOT SEND A COMPLETED MANUSCRIPT AS AN ATTACHMENT WITHOUT BEING INVITED TO DO SO. It will remain unread. If you send something by snail-mail please remember to include a Stamped and Self Addressed Envelope (SASE).

If we are interested in your project, we will request more information. We neither consider nor represent poetry, plays, screenplays, and textbooks.
