What we look for
01
A Distinctive Voice
We want writing that feels like it belongs to the person who wrote it.
02
A Strong Idea
Whether fiction or nonfiction, there should be something at the heart of the book that gives readers a reason to care.
03
A Clear Sense of Audience
We want to understand who the book is for and what will make those readers choose it.
04
Room to Grow
We are interested in the book in front of us, but also in the writer and the work that may follow.
What We Do Not Consider
We do not currently represent poetry, original screenplays or work generated by artificial intelligence.
Because questions surrounding authorship, copyright and publishing rights for AI-generated material continue to evolve, we are unable to consider manuscripts created substantially through generative AI.
