- We're CLOSED to queries during the month of July, and from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day every year.
- We also occasionally close to queries if our inbox gets too full, but it's always temporary.
- Each of our agents accepts queries separately. You can submit to more than one of our agents, but only one at a time. Wait until the first one passes before submitting to another, and always disclose if you've queried another one of our agents.
We respond to all queries, so you will hear back from someone on our team as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your patience. If you haven't heard from us in 30 days, your query may have fallen through the cracks so feel free to reach out again.

What Rachelle is looking for:
Non Fiction:
If you're writing nonfiction, I can't sell it unless you have a platform. If you don't, you may want to pursue smaller publishers on your own — you don't need an agent. Only pursue an agent if you have a platform and want to submit to the medium and large publishers.

What Candice is looking for:
The books that I’m looking for comprise, what I like to call, my perfect nightstand bookshelf. They’re books that help me dream of better worlds and how to create them, and carry me off to other worlds with strong characters and fascinating storylines. They’re resources that ground me in best practices for my life and root me deeper in spirituality and faith. These books are:
FICTION: women’s fiction, rom-com, romantasy, literary fiction, historical romance, children’s, middle grade, YA
(I am especially interested in stories with main characters from marginalized communities. Mild spice level)
NONFICTION: Christian living, alternative/inclusive spirituality, guided journals, narrative nonfiction, women’s health and wellness, progressive relationship and family, Black men’s interests
(I am especially interested in books that address midlife transitions, surviving personal/professional pivots and witty coming of age stories from Gen Xers and Millennials)

What Sherri is looking for:
As a literary agent, here’s a little peek into what I’m most excited to find:
Fiction I love: Contemporary romance and rom-coms (sweet/low heat). I also adore rom-coms with a touch of magical realism, beachy reads, women’s fiction, thrillers, and historical romance (especially mid-20th century). I'd also love to see the next Forrest Gump, The Truman Show, The Secret Life of Bees, or The Help!
Not my lane (fiction): Sports romances, cozy mystery, YA or YA fantasy, middle grade or children’s, sci-fi, paranormal, horror, or erotica.
Nonfiction I love: Gift books, devotionals, Bible studies (something super fresh and backed by a strong platform/community), guided journals, healthy living, neurodivergent stories, narrative nonfiction, unique parenting and marriage books from a Christian perspective, finances from a Christian perspective, and books for educators.
Overall, I want to see books that feel like a breath of fresh air, books that make me say, "Ahhh, that was so good!"
If you’re writing something that lines up with these, I’d love to hear about it!
