We consider nonfiction and fiction (commercial and literary) for the adult trade market. Authors interested in seeking representation by our agency should send a brief query letter by regular mail or email.

A nonfiction query should clearly describe the project and the author’s qualifications for writing it, emphasizing any “platform” and existing audience the author has developed for the book and listing any professional published work.

A fiction query should include a brief synopsis describing the plot, main characters, and genre or category, along with an approximate word count of the complete work. It is also useful to mention any trade press books to which your work might be compared.

Please provide full contact information (email, mailing address, phone number) and any relevant biographical information and professional credentials. If we are sufficiently intrigued by your project, we will ask for samples or the complete proposal or manuscript. ______________________________

All regular mail queries should be sent, along with a SASE, to:

Judith Ehrlich Literary Management LLC
880 Third Avenue, 8th Floor
New York, NY 10022

E-mailed queries should be sent to jehrlich@JudithEhrlichLiterary.com. Due to the volume of submissions, we regret that we cannot respond to all email inquiries.

Do not mail manuscripts or send attachments that have not been requested. _______________________________

We do not represent children’s or young adult books, novellas, poetry, textbooks, plays or screenplays.
