Query Submission

Submit a query to Sarah Davies / The Greenhouse Literary Agency

Thank you for thinking of me for your work. To learn more about what I like to represent, please visit my page on the Greenhouse website.

I am mainly looking for middle-grade and young-adult fiction and graphic novelists, though occasionally take on non-fiction too if I feel the theme is sufficiently unique. I do represent some adult-oriented suspense, but only receive queries for that genre by referral. I welcome queries from BIPOC authors as well as those marginalized identities that include sexuality, gender identity and disability.

I tend to enjoy stories that have a strong commercial hook delivered with literary ambition. I'm not the best fit for high fantasy or science fiction, and I am not open to picture books, inspirational religious/Christian work, screenplays, poetry collections, short stories or erotica.

If you think we would be a good fit, please fill out the form below. I look forward to seeing your work!
