Send a Query to Julie Romeis Sanders at SteelWorks Literary

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.

Hello! Thank you for considering submitting your work to me as a potential agent. Here are a few instructions which may be helpful.

Picture Books: Please submit the full manuscript

Chapter Books and Novels: Please submit the first 10 pages

Non-Fiction for Middle Grade: Please submit a full proposal which may include the first 10 pages of your work

Other important guidelines: 

  • If you have used AI to create ANY part of your work outside tools such as grammar, I cannot consider your project. Thank you for understanding.
  • Please include Content Warnings, if applicable, in your query.
  • If you've been previously represented, please provide further details in your bio for full consideration including previous agent and projects on editorial submission.
  • Please query with only one project to one SWL agent at a time. Multiple queries cannot be considered. Send the project that you feel best aligns with Julie's list. If she feels that another agent will be a better fit, she will pass it along.
  • While we try to respond to all queries, this is not always possible due to the volume we receive during open submission windows. If you do not receive a reply within three months, we have decided that the project is not a strong fit at this time.

Best,

Julie Romeis Sanders
