HOW TO SUBMIT: Please note: When we post a New Agent Spotlight, we try to make sure the agent is open to submissions at the time of posting. But as time goes by, an agent can close and open to submissions at any time. If some time has passed since this spotlight was posted, you will want to check their agency website and/or QueryManager before submitting, to be sure. As always, please review the agency’s submission guidelines before you submit. “Please email queries to [email protected] with the first 10 pages of your manuscript in the body of the email with QUERY in the subject line. Thank you!”  Attend a Writers Conference in 2026:
