Submission Requirements
How to successfully present your work
Please e-mail us a query letter, which includes your credentials, an explanation of what makes your book unique and special, and a synopsis. We respond to all queries, generally within six to eight weeks. We receive hundreds of submissions a month, all of which receive careful consideration. This takes time, so we encourage your patience. If we request your manuscript, we prefer that you send it to us on an exclusive basis. Please do not query two agents within our agency simultaneously; however, if the first agent you submit to should pass on your project, please feel free to resubmit to another agent here. We do not represent original screenplays.
