11/13/2017 sent postal query with SASE
4/10/2018 CNR. No response after 5 months even with postage paid, though website says response time is 2-3 months. Maybe she's just swamped but I'm closing this one out.

SUBMISSIONS FROM AUTHORS:


Spectrum's policy is to read only book-length manuscripts that we have specifically asked to see. Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted.

Anyone interested in representation must send a query letter* with a return stamped (not metered ), self-addressed envelope to:

Justin Bell or Eleanor Wood
Spectrum Literary Agency
320 Central Park West Suite 1-D
New York, NY 10025

Letters sent without SASE will not be answered. The letter should describe your book briefly and include publishing credits and background information or qualifications relating to your work, and the first 10 pages of your work. Our response time is generally 2-3 months.

* Spectrum will not accept/respond to queries that arrive by fax, e-mail, or telephone. All queries MUST be sent through the mail.

ladyhoffman: I think that's just for Justin Bell. It also says: "Eleanor Wood is not accepting unsolicited manuscripts at this time, except by referral."

Patrick: When I checked out their website, I saw that they don't accept unsolicited manuscripts, but they do have instructions for queries by snail mail. They want a description of the book, background info, and the first ten pages.
