Send a Query to Sarah N. Fisk at The Tobias Literary Agency

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.
I will be open to queries on the first five days of every month in 2025.

Fields marked (required) are required. All other fields are encouraged. Please submit only one project at a time and note that the Tobias Agency Policy is to only submit to one of our agents at a time.

If you haven't already, please view my wishlist and FAQ on {my wesbite} http://www.sarahnfisk.com. Examples of successful queries are also available at {that site} https://sarahnicolas.com/tag/qqq/.

For non-fiction: place the query/cover letter in the Query section, the Chapter Outline in the Synopsis section, and all other proposal materials in the Sample section.

Your query should look like a regular query you email, even if the info is contained in other fields. A "synopsis" should tell what happens in the entire story from beginning to end, including all spoilers and twists. A synopsis is different from the description used in the query.

Please don't be concerned with any formatting loss due to copy and pasting.

I am not a "Ms" or a "Miss" and prefer no honorific. Please address the query "Dear Sarah."

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