Send a Query to Beth Phelan at Gallt And Zacker Literary Agency

Please note that I am only seeking submissions for MG and YA fiction (and/or just the right nonfiction project for those age categories). I’m interested in contemporary, fantasy, magical realism, speculative, romance, horror, and thriller/mystery. I’m not the best fit for hard sci-fi, verse, or graphic novels. In cases where accommodation is needed, you can instead email me your query and first 10 pages (both pasted into the email) to bethqueries@galltzacker.com.

For more specifics on my submission wishlist, visit www.bethphelan.com/submissions.

Please also note that I am only open to receiving queries during the first week of every month.

Thanks for sending in your submission! This form is only for authors whose pitches I requested during a #DVpit event. Please include a link to the relevant pitches in your query letter and attach the first 20 pages of your work. I look forward to reading!
