Specialization
Literary-agent query and submission materials
Professional approach
We look at the manuscript, genre, intended readership and your aims before deciding what will serve your submission. Requirements differ by agent and by genre, so the goal is a coherent, accurate set of materials that fits your project and the recipients’ guidelines.
Our work prepares professional materials; decisions about representation, acquisition or production are made independently by agents and industry professionals. No outcome is guaranteed.
WHAT YOU MAY RECEIVE
Materials shaped to your project.
The exact deliverables are agreed after we learn about your book. These are examples, not an automatic package.
