Thank you for your interest in querying me at The Seymour Agency! I'm currently not accepting emailed queries, so please visit my Query Manager profile to share your work with me. Be sure to include the following details in your query/the form fields: - A great pitch for your book, 3-5 lines long. This helps us to immediately see what the hook is, as well as what the story is about. - Genre/Target Audience - Word Count - Contact Information and Bio - References (Conference, Recommendation, etc.) Please query one agent at a time. However, if that agent passes on a project, please feel free to query another Seymour agent. We make a conscious effort to reply to every query we receive. If you do not receive a request for additional materials within three weeks, you should assume that we are not interested in that particular project. Please know that our opinion is but one, and another agent may feel differently. We wish you the very best in all of your writing endeavors! Thank you for your interest in The Seymour Agency!
