Query Submission

Margaret Danko - High Line Literary Collective

Hello and thank you for considering me for your representation! I respond to all queries submitted to my QueryManager as quickly as I can. Per High Line Literary Collection policy, we do our best to respond within 12 weeks, but sometimes the volume of queries makes that impossible. Please only submit to one High Line agent at a time.

*For fiction queries, I am looking for a query letter plus the first ten pages of the manuscript, as well as any information about the author including publication history and previous work.

*For nonfiction, I am looking for a query letter plus the first ten pages of your proposal, as well as any information about the author including publication history and relevant work experience to the proposal topic. Links to social media and other online presences are encouraged.

I read and carefully consider every query I receive, and I appreciate the hard work that goes into each submission. This is an incredibly subjective industry, and I only have the bandwidth for projects that I absolutely fall in love with and that I can confidently champion through the publishing process. Please do not see delayed responses or rejections as a measure of your work's merit.
