Each query is read and considered with care. If we are interested in seeing further materials, we will be in touch via email within fifteen weeks of receipt.

Our agents are eager to read manuscripts of fiction and nonfiction genres. We encourage you to read our agents’ full bios to find the best agent to represent your work. Once ready, you may follow an agent’s Query Manager submission link posted below. Please remember to query only one agent at a time. Please note that we do not accept screenplay, stage play, poetry, or picture book queries.

If you have any disability requirements that this form doesn’t address, please write to admin@cookemcdermid.com and let us know your needs and concerns. We will respond as soon as possible.

We look forward to reading your work, and we appreciate you sharing it with us!
