Query Submission

The Seymour Agency -- Jennifer Wills

Hello!

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I'm so excited to take a look at your work. Please fill out this form as completely as you can, but don't sweat it if you don't know how to answer a particular question. It's meant to help me get to know you a bit better, not to cause you stress or anxiety. There are no wrong answers!

QueryManager is now my preferred method for handling submissions in a timely manner, because it offers a lot of bells and whistles that allow both me and you to keep tabs on the status of your submission. That being said, I don't wish to exclude anyone. So, if you have a disability or other reason that prevents you from using this form, please feel welcome to email me at queryjennifer@theseymouragency.com and be sure to type "UNABLE TO QM" in the subject line. (Otherwise, my automatic message will advise you to submit here instead and will automatically delete your email query to avoid duplication.)

Rest assured that any queries that come to me via email will receive the same consideration as the ones that arrive via QueryManager.

If you haven't already, I suggest you check out my profiles at https://www.theseymouragency.com/about-us and https://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jennifer-wills/ for the most up-to-date information on my wishlist before you submit!

Thanks again for trusting me with your work. I can't wait to read it!

Cheers!
