We work to get the best possible deal with the best fit with editor and publisher. We negotiate the contract. And we stay with the author through the whole process, ensuring that the author’s desires and needs are effectively communicated to the publisher during the editing and promotion stages.

When called for, we put authors together with ghost writers or co-authors. We work with subagents to handle foreign rights, movie rights, and other ancillary rights. We also provide advice on how to further your career, and help you refine ideas for future books. Learn More About Us

Submission Guidelines

You can submit by email or regular mail.

If submitting by email, please limit the pitch to one page (300 words or so).  No attachments please.  If submitting by mail, please send a query letter and SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope).

Either way, if your book idea sounds promising, we’ll ask to see more.

Submissions should include the following:

• the subject of the book
• how your book will be new, different, or better
• the market (who will buy the book)
• your credentials
• how you can help the publisher sell the book
• the competition (other books on the same subject)           

We do not charge reading fees.
