Please make sure your work is publisher-ready before you submit it. If you have any questions about the genres I represent, please see my bio for my wishlist. Please note that, unlike previous years, I am no longer accepting illustration portfolios alone.

If you are pitching a NOVEL, please include:
- Query Letter
- Synopsis (I like spoilers)
- Three chapters or 50 pages, whichever is longer

If you are pitching WORDS + PICTURES (artists and graphic novelists), you may upload the pitch packet or link to a dropbox. I would like to see the following in your pitch packet, and more is always better than less:
- Query Letter
- Story Synopsis
- Character descriptions/arcs
- 2-4 pages of finished art (if available)
- 1 chapter of sketches or more of script

Please feel to write N/A in any section not applicable

AI STATEMENT: It is important to state that I am explicitly against the use of AI in all creative endeavors. This means not only the writing of your book, but also ancillary materials like character art, photo manipulation, cover illustration, audio & music, etc. Artists are only stronger together, and I reject any creative wins at the expense of another artist. If we are not aligned on this fundamental value, we are not a good fit and I encourage you to submit to another agent.
