Query Submission

Kimberly at Olswanger Literary

WELCOME! I'm building my list in the ADULT fiction space.

More about me and the genres I represent/wish lists: https://www.kfernandobooks.com/

Note that I do not represent children's books (Picture Books, Chapter Books, Middle Grade, or Young Adult).

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUNG ADULT (YA) - YA is an automatic pass since I do not represent it.

Additional Notes:
** Be sure your manuscript is complete and polished.
** I don't represent books that are (or have been) already published. Unfortunately, that will be an automatic pass, but I am open to other manuscripts that are complete, polished, and have never been published before.
** I also do not represent books that are AI-assisted or AI-generated in full or in part (AI = Artificial Intelligence). I believe wholeheartedly in genuine human creativity and original works that have not been mined from other hard-working authors.

Please query only one Olswanger agent at a time and wait for a response before querying another agent. If you mistakenly query two of us at the same time, you can withdraw and requery later.

I look forward to reading your work and aim to respond within six weeks. If this timeline becomes longer, I'll update on Twitter.

Thank you for your query!

Thank you for your submission! I'm excited to review your work!

Please complete the form below. I request the query, first 10 pages, and a 1-2 page synopsis.

NOTE: This link is for personal invitations and pitch/mood board likes from me only . Please use my normal submission link in the future, which can be found here: https://querymanager.com/query/2640 - Thank you!

I look forward to reading about your project!
