Send a Query to Melanie Figueroa at Root Literary
Thank you so much for thinking of me for your work. If you haven't already, please view more information about the projects I'm looking for here.
Here are a few things to note:
1. Though I tend to read queries in order of arrival, sometimes I review submissions within specific categories or genres (e.g., reading all general fiction submissions before shifting to speculative submissions). This helps me minimize context switching and be more responsive, but it may throw off my QueryTracker stats.
2. Please keep in mind Root Literary’s submission policy and do not query multiple agents at the same time.
3. Unless I reach out directly via email or request that you do so, QueryManager is the only place where I correspond with authors regarding submissions. If I pass on your project, please do not email me separately. I’m unable to provide extensive feedback on submissions; a pass simply means I’m not the best fit for your project, and I’m rooting for you to find the right home for it.
