While we want to help new authors, the fact is we add very few, and those that are represented by us usually have previous publishing experience.  We represent non-fiction exclusively. If you do want to contact us, send a short query via e-mail and follow our guidelines below. If we think we might be able to help or could be the right agency, we will respond asking for more material. PLEASE DO NOT SEND US THE ENTIRE MANUSCRIPT UNLESS WE REQUEST IT.

Submission guidelines:

• A query letter that includes a brief description of the book and what category of non-fiction it would be.
• An outline of the project and its market.
• A table of contents with chapter headings and a brief description of the material covered in each section.
• A sample chapter.
• A bio that includes your qualifications to write on your subject, your writing experience and published works.
• If possible, an estimate of the word count of your book, and how much of it you have written.

Please note:

• We receive many submissions, so please be patient. We will respond to you as quickly as we can.
• Make sure you have provided full contact details, including your email address.
• We are not an editorial service, and will not be able to adequately assess early drafts of your work. When you submit it to us, you should consider your work ready for a publisher to see.
• We do not accept queries by phone. If you are unsure whether your writing is appropriate for our list, please email us.
