Query Submission

Submit to Lisa Abellera

Thank you for your interest in submitting to me. If your genre does not appear in the drop down menu below, please know I don't represent it. In addition, I do not represent self-published or previously published books, however, you are welcome to query a new, unpublished project that fits what I am looking for.

I kindly request that you make sure your manuscript is double-spaced and properly formatted. I prefer 12 pt. Times New Roman, but other fonts are fine as long as the text is clear and legible. The only font I ask that you do not use is Courier. Please be sure to include in your manuscript formatting:

~A title page with the book's title, author's name, and contact info
~Page numbers in the header or footer
~Page breaks between chapters (chapters start on a new page)
~First line of paragraphs indented and no added line spaces between paragraphs

I look forward to reading your work!

Thank you for responding to my request during a recent online query contest or pitch party. I will respond to your submission as soon as I possibly can. I appreciate your patience!

Sincere regards,

Lisa Abellera
