Send a Query to Courtney Donovan at Writers House
Thank you for thinking of me! A few tips as you prepare to submit your query:
- Please make sure you select the correct genre/age category. Projects submitted under an inaccurate category will not be considered. Additionally, the following categories are currently by referral: Adult Fantasy, Adult Science Fiction, and Picture Book Texts (author-only). If you are submitting a project in one of these categories and have been referred to me (or if I've requested or met you at a conference) please select the appropriate "Referral/Request" option in the dropdown menu.
- Paste your full query in the Query Letter field, even if some information is contained in other fields on this form (such as title, genre, your bio, etc).
- For illustrators querying without a dummy, please still include a query letter and a link to your portfolio. For any required fields that are not applicable (such as the synopsis) you can note N/A.
- If we met at a conference, you can note that in your query letter or the referral box.
- Please submit only one project at a time. Additionally, only submit to one agent at Writers House at a time. If I pass, you're welcome to try another agent at our agency.
Finally, if you haven't already, you can view my wish list on my website (https://www.cadonovan.com/mswl). I look forward to reviewing your work!
