Thank you for your interest in submitting to me. If your genre does not appear in the drop down menu below, please know I don't represent it. In addition, I do not represent self-published or previously published books, however, you are welcome to query a new, unpublished project that fits what I am looking for.

I kindly request that you make sure your sample pages are double-spaced and properly formatted. I prefer 12 pt. Times New Roman, but other fonts are fine as long as the text is clear and legible. The only font I ask that you do not use is Courier.

For FICTION projects, the first 50 pages of your manuscript (not including the title page) is REQUIRED. Please be sure to upload the file and include in your manuscript formatting:

~A title page with the book's title, author's name, and contact info
~Page numbers in the header or footer
~Page breaks between chapters (chapters start on a new page)
~First line of paragraphs indented and no added line spaces between paragraphs

For NONFICTION projects, a complete book proposal, which also includes sample chapters, is REQUIRED to be uploaded. If you are unfamiliar with what is required for a book proposal, Jane Freidman has an excellent blog post on how to write a nonfiction book proposal that has a free book proposal template you can download at: www.janefriedman.com/start-here-how-to-write-a-book-proposal/.

I look forward to reading your work!

Thank you for this opportunity to consider your book project. I will respond to your submission as soon as I possibly can. I appreciate your patience!

Sincere regards,

Lisa Abellera
