Query Submission

Send a Query to Jennifer Chevais at The Rights Factory!

Categories Jennifer is accepting queries for are:

- FICTION (Adult SFF and Horror - completed manuscripts only);

- GRAPHIC NOVELS (projects do not need to be completed or speculative in nature, however, there should be roughly 30-40 pages complete with illustrations along with an outline of the story. Please either upload a .pdf or provide a cloud drive link to your project with instructions);

- MEMOIR (finished or proposals (knowing a proposal will be needed at some point)); and

- Other NON-FICTION (proposals).

Please note pdfs are only accepted for Graphic Novel submissions.

NO modern military operation / warfare timelines
CAUTION on vampire stories (I love vampires and am currently at my limit of clients who write mostly vampiric fiction. If you write other spec fiction along these lines, you should either lead with that project or indicate in your query that you write other types of stories too)

A special note on word count: manuscripts over 120,000 are very hard (bordering on impossible) to place right now. Please ensure that your manuscript’s word count is within the norm for your genre. Thank you!
