Query Guidelines

Middle-grade and young adult fiction (all genres, though horror, thriller, Christmas, or talking animal books are not a good match); narrative non-fiction for children and teens; picture books from author/illustrators only. Along with your book's title, please include the name of the agent you are querying in the subject field. After your query letter, paste the FIRST 5-10 PAGES of your novel into the body of the email.

Hi all. Just a note that I'm closed to submissions starting today (Feb 1) and will reopen over the summer. (Upcoming maternity leave.) Please feel free to query another LDLA agent in the meantime!

It seems like with this agent she goes through queries exactly by date, as I was able to follow the reply graph from querytracker and sure enough, my rejection came exactly on the day that the query before me was responded too. Hope that's helpful for those waiting.

"Thank you so much for your submission. Unfortunately I don't feel I'm the appropriate agent to represent your work as the story just isn't right for me. I'm sure another agent will feel differently, and with the vast array of opinions in the industry, I wish you the best in finding the right representation."
