As of January 2026, I am open to queries exclusively via QueryManager. I am open to queries for the first week (days 1-7) of every calendar month. Please be sure to review my agency profile (https://belllomaxmoreton.co.uk/agents/julie-gourinchas) for more specifics on my tastes and interests.

I do not represent young adult, middle grade, or children’s books.

I am open to queries from BIPOC and global majority authors year-round: https://querytracker.net/query/juliegourinchas/BIPOC

I aim to respond to every query, so if you have not received a response from me, your query is still under consideration.

Brief query letter guidelines: Please include an introductory paragraph containing your metadata (title, genre, word count, comparative titles), e.g. "BOOK is an adult gothic horror novel, complete at 91k words. It will appeal to fans of COMP ONE's body horror and the complicated family dynamics found in COMP TWO." If you have been referred to me by an acquaintance, publishing industry professional, or I have reached out to you directly (via Instagram, Twitter, or Reddit), please mention this in your introductory paragraph as well.

I would greatly appreciate the inclusion of any relevant content warnings for your novel at some point in your query letter.

I am open to queries from BIPOC and global majority authors year-round. This form has been created specifically to increase accessibility for such creators.

Please DO NOT use this form unless you identify as such. That said, I do not need you to disclose of any part of your identity you do not feel comfortable sharing with me.
