Submissions
We do not
look at unsolicited material. However we do
accept one-page queries by email.
The query is
important, because it introduces you to us. It needs to
be professionally presented, written with some
originality, and include a brief description or synopsis
with background or short bio of
the author.
If we wish to
see more, we will request that you send us either the
proposal, or sample chapters
by email.
If you send a
query by regular mail, please send only a couple of
pages in a regular sized envelope,
with a SASE for
response. Sending a couple of
pages in an oversized mailer, wastes paper and postage.
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 (by referral)
Sally van Haitsma
Commercial/literary fiction, pop culture, business, how-to, science, narrative non-fiction
Deborah Ritchken
Narrative non-fiction, memoir, biography, literary fiction
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, that's a seductive combination.
