No. The 8-10 week standard response time only applies to queries. It can take me much longer to get back to you on your full manuscript or proposal.

If I requested your proposal or manuscript and you have not heard back from me within 4 months, feel free to send me a nudge.

Let me know! Please share the deadline you expect to respond to the other agent(s) by and I will aim to respond to you by that deadline as well.

I do! If you have previously self-published, please make sure to include your publishing history and why you’re seeking representation in your query letter.

I am also open to handling subrights for self-pub authors who wish to continue self-publishing.

I do. Query Manager allows me to send form rejections. I unfortunately do not have the capacity to send personalized rejections to every query, but I do my best to let you know where your project stands with me!

Yes, you can. Ideally, you want to send a sample from the project you’re proposing, but if you have a writing sample that illustrates your writing on the topic you’re proposing (eg: an article you’ve written) then that works! This is especially applicable to journalistic work.

That depends!

If you have made significant changes to your project (major edits that altered the work as a whole), I’m happy to reconsider it.

If you have a completely new project that you think I would be a fit for, I’d love to see your new submission.
