	Home Genres & Specialties Selected Titles Recent Sales/ Forthcoming Books Rights Sales Other Rights Offerings Submission Guidelines Contact Us	Submissions We do not look at unsolicited material. However we do accept one-page queries by regular mail. The query is important, because it introduces you to us. It needs to be professionally presented, written with some originality and include biographical information. Please include your e-mail address. We prefer not to receive queries by e-mail because it's impossible to answer the hundreds that we receive. When sending a query by regular mail, fiction submissions may include the first 3-5 pages of sample writing together with a synopsis. We do not return material unless specifically requested and accompanied by an SASE. Please do not send separate queries to all agents. Send to the agent most suited for your particular project: Win Golden Commercial/literary fiction, current events/politics, journalism, pop culture, biography, memoir, science, narrative non-fiction (prefers queries by referral) Sally van Haitsma Commercial/literary fiction, pop culture, business, how-to, science, narrative non-fiction Deborah Ritchken Lifestyle, cooking, food, memoir, biography, literary fiction Our preferences: NONFICTION We'd particularly like to hear from you if you are a journalist or published writer in magazines and newspapers, have expertise on the subject you're writing, together with media exposure and/or a speaking schedule. FICTION We'd like to hear from anyone who has had success with a previous novel. We do look at debut novels and it helps if you've been published in literary anthologies or magazines, if you have studied under well-known authors, or have an MFA. It's all about the writing of course but if great writing is accompanied by a marketing hook of some kind, that's a seductive combination.
