We are currently accepting queries from new and established authors via email or Query Manager only, per agent preference — please refer to our Agents page. A query letter consists of a one-page description or synopsis of your work and your relevant background information. We ask that you paste the first chapter into the body of your email following your query letter. We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. Due to the volume of queries we receive, we regret that we are unable to reply to each one. We will only respond if we are requesting additional material.

If querying by email, please send your query letter to dca@doncongdon.com. You must include the word “Query” and the agent’s full name in your subject heading. Please include your query, sample chapter, your full name, and complete email address in the body of the email, as we do not open unsolicited attachments for security reasons.

Katie Kotchman, Katie Grimm, and Caroline Miranda are only accepting queries via Query Manager.

Please query only one agent within the agency at a time. For a listing of specific agent interests, please visit the Agents page.
