Send a query to Jessica Alvarez of BookEnds Literary

Thank you so much for your interest in querying me! Please note that I reply to all queries and make an attempt to do so well within 2 weeks of receipt. Honestly, you'll probably get a response to your query within days, if not hours, but it sometimes takes me longer. For requested proposals and completes, I'm not as speedy but my response is usually within 12 weeks.

Despite what it says in the form below, for nonfiction, please don't paste in your entire proposal. Just a few pages of your sample chapter, please.

For subrights representation, just a quick explanation of your publishing history and what you're looking for is needed. No need to paste sample pages at this time.

I look forward to reading your query! Thank you again for thinking of me. And, please, call me Jessica. Ms. Alvarez if you feel the need to be formal, but Jessica will do just fine.
