Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the agent or agency being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the agent/agency meets your standards.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the agency/agent.
Unless the agency's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
For agency submissions, it is standard to submit a query letter and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
