Query Submission

Jemiscoe at Andrea Brown Literary Agency

***IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING A PB text, PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT OPEN WIDELY. PLEASE INCLUDE WHO REFERRED YOU OR WHICH CONFERENCE I ATTENDED, WHERE I HAVE MET YOU AND/OR REQUESTED YOUR WORK.***

Fields marked (required) are required, and the other fields are encouraged.

I am currently building a diverse list of authors and illustrators. I represent Adult fiction, YA, MG, and picture books (BY REFERRALS ONLY). Across the board, and regardless of age group or genre, I am interested in writing that contains authentic emotional resonance--whether it brings on the giggles or tears or both.

・Please ONLY upload art or picture book dummies in the upload section. PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD FULL MANUSCRIPTS. If we are interested in reading more, we will specifically request the full manuscript.

***I will respond to EVERY submission that I receive. During the pandemic, wait times are slightly longer. Please expect submission-response to be anywhere from a day to 6 months. I do apologize for that. Feel free to nudge should I take longer than 3 months to check on the status of your query.***

Thank you for your query!
