Thank you so much for considering me for your representation! Please complete as many options below as possible, and I will get back to you as soon as I am able.

A few tips when querying me:

Avoid using passive voice in your query. Hook me with your first sentence and keep me engaged throughout your query, synopsis, and sample pages.
For FICTION: Keep your synopsis to 2-pages, single-spaced. It should show characterization, setting, conflict, resolution and for romance category, the HEA or HFN. (Learn more about how to write your submission materials here: https://www.saritzahernandez.com/submission-materials.html
Follow submission guidelines: https://www.andreabrownlit.com/how-to-submit1.html
In FICTION, I am more interested in your work than your writing/pub credits so make sure it's the Work that stands out in your query.
In NONFICTION, your platform is key! Make sure that's clearly evident in your proposal.
Tell me what makes you the right person for this work: (ie: Chef with 15 years of culinary experience, TikTok sensation with more than 1 million followers, History Professor at (name of University here), etc.)
I require a one-sentence pitch (or logline) of your work. If you pitched this to me via a pitch contest, copy and paste the text from that post into that section of the form.
ROMANCE works should meet the romance novel criteria as defined by the RWA: https://www.rwa.org/about-romance-fiction. Your story is not a romance if it does not meet the criteria.
ILLUSTRATORS - I am looking for creators who illustrate any group from picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and YA, those with an art/text dummy as well as those who want to illustrate others' work. Simply put "SEEKING ART REPRESENTATION" in lieu of a title below. And "0" or "1" for Word Count. In the sample section, simply write "n/a". Please only upload art samples in the upload section. DO NOT upload FULL manuscripts. If interested, I will request to read the full manuscript.

Remember, I am NOT accepting the following:

Picture Books, Chapter Books
Short story collections
Inspirational works with overtly religious overtones

Thank you for your query! Please know I take your privacy seriously and will not post queries publicly without permission.
