Submission Guidelines
We prefer to work through email.
If you'd like us to take a look at your work, it's always best to start with an e-mail or letter briefly describing the project. The point of a query letter is to answer some basic but important questions. Tell us what the book is about, what's new here, why you decided to write this book, what's special about you as the author, and why your book will stand out once published. Include anything else about yourself or your project that will allow us to make a better decision about your project's publication prospects. You may also send us a proposal and sample chapter, if you feel these will give us a better feel for your work. But please do not submit a completed manuscript. Email submissions should be sent as attachments that have been virus scanned.
At this point, please do not send original artwork.
If you must your materials by snail mail and would like them returned, please include a self-addressed stamped and self-sealing envelope. Material that weighs more than one pound will not be returned unless we requested it, because postal regulations require that heavy packages must be mailed directly from a post office. If an email response is sufficient, we'd prefer that, but won't return your materials.
Email your initial query to one of us. Don't worry about selecting the wrong person. We're good sharers and will forward your inquiry to the appropriate agent if necessary:
In the subject line of your email, please include the word "query" and the name of your project or your name. If you are attaching a file, please name the file with your name (NOT ours).
If you can't send via email, mail to:
