Send a Query to Kodie Van Dusen at The Rights Factory

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.

Thank you for your interest! Right now I am only accepting queries for non-fiction in the following areas as I work through my backlog of fiction submissions.

Non-fiction: narrative journalism (in the style of Johann Hari and Neil Strauss), philosophy, psychology, parenting, women's issues, true crime, select memoirs, cultural and corporate criticism, and politics.

I do my best to respond to queries within six weeks, but due to sheer volume, this is sometimes not possible. If you do not hear back within this time frame, please consider it a pass.
