How to submit
Our agents only accept submissions through QueryManager. Please follow the instructions in the individual agent's QueryManager form. (See below. Queries that do not follow our instructions will not be considered.)
What to submit
For fiction, we require a completed manuscript. For nonfiction, we require a completed proposal. A useful resource on how to write a nonfiction proposal is available on Jane Friedman's website: How to Write a Book Proposal
Can I query multiple agents?
No, but you may submit to another agent should one pass.
Can I query multiple projects?
Our preference is that you pick your strongest work to share with us. Should an agent express interest in pursuing representation you can discuss other projects at that time. Of course, you are welcome to include a description of other projects in your initial query letter.
Who to submit to
Jacqui Lipton is primarily seeking platform-driven nonfiction for the adult market and nonfiction with strong curricular connections for the children's market. She considers fiction selectively and, in fiction, is primarily interested in mystery and thriller. She is not the best fit for high/epic fantasy or true crime.
To submit to Jacqui, go to her QueryManager form.
Jacqui is currently only considering new clients via referrals and conference requests. She will be open to general queries in the fall of 2026.
Chelsea Moyer is seeking compulsive, propulsive, commercial/upmarket fiction. She represents select middle grade, young adult, new adult, and adult stories across speculative, romance, and book club fiction genres. She’s delighted by the surprising and the strange, and loves messy characters, deep emotion, tight timelines, ticking clocks, and HEART.
Currently, Chelsea is not a good fit for hard sci-fi, body horror, or nonfiction.
Chelsea will be open to general queries via QueryManager in the fall of 2026.
Illustrators may submit portfolios via QueryManager.
We welcome work from creators sharing historically underrepresented stories, perspectives and voices.
