Send a Query to Alice Jin "AJ" Zhang at BookEnds Literary Agency

Hello, and welcome to my Query Page!

I'm honored to be considered as a potential partner in your creative career.

Please remember: I specialize in working with illustrators. Artists with interest in writing (author-illustrators) are encouraged to upload a complete dummy with text alongside their portfolio link. At this time, I am not seeking text-only creators.

If you are querying as an illustrator-only (without a book pitch), please write "N/A" in the pitch-specific fields below like Title, Word Count, etc.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your work with me. Please know that I view all queries and aim to reply in a timely manner.

Best wishes,
