THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. TO AVOID UNNECESSARY REJECTIONS, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE BEFORE SUBMITTING. At this time, I am only taking submissions from pitch workshops I have participated in, current clients, or the following developmental editors:

stephaniemfreeman@yahoo.com, traci@tracifinlay.com, jlcampbellwrites@gmail.com, ellengoeckler@gmail.com, angelpaynewrites@gmail.com, commasutraeditorial@gmail.com

If you did not put the day and date of the pitch workshop where I listened to your pitch, the email address of one of my current clients, or the email address of the editor as a referral, then I will send the submission back to you.

There are many agents on QueryTracker that do not have this as a stipulation and can champion your work. Please do not let this deter you from the process. This is MY process and after two years on this platform, it has worked FOR ME.

I only represent romantic comedy, romantic suspense, cozy mystery, domestic thrillers, psychological thrillers, medical thrillers or legal thrillers. When you become a client in one of these genres, I will be comfortable representing other genres you write in such as: fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, paranormal, sci-fi, romantasy, YA Fantasy, YA horror, and children's picture book. This is ONLY AFTER I HAVE SIGNED YOU AS A CLIENT.

I am also looking for NEW manuscripts, not work that is currently or previously published. Please note, I will check your social media platforms. You need to have a digital footprint presence and not be a “ghost”. If you have previously published other books, I will take a look at your website and Amazon profile.

Equally, please be sure to: follow directions on querying; be as tight/clear as possible with your synopsis and/or blurbs; have a proper cover page for the attachment; make sure that your manuscript is in a traditional formatting style; and make sure that I represent the genre that you're submitting in.

Also, follow me on IG, FB, TikTok, Blue Sky, and Threads. Here's a link to stay connected: https://sociatap.com/naleighnakai/

Thank you one again for your interest, and I hope that we will be working together at some point in your literary career or that your literary baby finds another amazing to represent it.
