The literary agency only handles full-length books for adults (that is, no children's books). We are not interested in poetry, short stories, story collections, essays or any other short material of any kind.

Fiction proposals must include a synopsis of not more than 6 pages. An author biography should be on a separate sheet of paper. If you have been published before, include a list of title, publisher, publication date, approximate number of copies sold. Also include any reviews.

Non-fiction proposals must include an expanded Table of Contents. An author biography and/or a curriculum vitae should also be included. If you have been published before, include a list of title, publisher, publication date, approximate number of copies sold. Also include any reviews.

Do not send any text, send a query letter first. If we are interested in the project, we will ask to see specific material or we will ask for further information.

A query letter must include the following:

1. the title of the book

2. the number of words in the manuscript

3. a brief description of not more than two paragraphs

4. brief biographical information

5. a self-addressed stamped envelope

If you are unsure about how to write a proper query letter or how to do a synopsis, consider obtaining PITCHING YOUR PROJECT # 1: HOW TO SELL YOUR NOVEL TO AGENTS AND EDITORS by Sharon Jarvis, which is featured elsewhere on this site. You might want to check out the other titles we have available for writers, which provide very useful information and instructions on getting published.
