Submit a Query to Eva Scalzo
Thank you for your interest in querying me! I'm excited to take a look at your pitch and ask that you include your full query letter and paste in the first three chapters of your manuscript in the appropriate locations on this form! That will help with processing your query.
A few notes about the process, please read carefully:
1) I try to read these in order received, though I will occasionally jump around. Expect a response from me within 60 days, feel free to nudge anytime after that. **My current response rate is on average less than 7 days; some might sit for longer because I am debating, but even if I sit with it longer, I will make a decision within 60 days.**
2) The additional questions listed below are meant to be for fun and you are *not* required to answer them. There are no wrong answers, and this is not some sort of test. I love seeing the responses but my decision about your query are not related to anything you reply here. If you’re curious, my answers are:
a) Taylor Swift/Harry Styles/Bennifer 2.0/the British Royals and their hot messes
b) Leo, and yes; (I’m also a Scorpio rising, Libra moon if you’re into astrology)
c) Pop, Rock, Alternative, Folk, Latin, my taste is eclectic, "Like a Prayer" is my go-to karaoke song
3) If your three chapters get cut-off, don't worry. There's a hidden character count in the form. Whatever you've posted will be enough for me to decide whether or not I want to keep reading.
4) Once you have submitted your query to me, please wait for a response before submitting to any other agent at Speilburg Literary. Likewise, if you have previously submitted work to another Speilburg Literary agent, wait until they respond before submitting to me. We can track simultaneous submissions across the agency and will reject duplicate submissions.
5) Note that my Diverse Authors form is now closed and this is my general query form. I offer feedback on occasion, but it’s not always possible or meaningful. Sometimes things are just not for me, and it’s not a value judgment on your work. Publishing is subjective and not every story works for every reader. But no matter what I hope this querying process finds your perfect agent match; whether it’s me or someone else! All authors deserve a champion for their work.
