After waiting 56 days, assume your submission will not be accepted. Country United States AI Policy Unknown AI policy Fiction Open Ariele’s looking for character-driven commercial and upmarket fiction that will make her cry (family drama/coming of age all accepted here!), mystery/thriller/suspense with a last-page jaw dropper, romance with a relatable main character and witty dialogue, and novels about women's inner lives that straddle the line between commercial and literary from a diverse range of voices and backgrounds. She loves a strong sense of place, her favorite novels are those you want to savor but end up reading in a day, and tension amongst characters — in any genre — is a win.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: General Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Romance Open to all/most Subgenres Suspense/Thriller Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics including...

Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
