BLUE HERON LITERARY IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO SUBMISSIONS. CHECK BACK EARLY 2019.

I am open to reviewing manuscripts and proposals from both first-time authors and publishing veterans.

Fiction submissions should include a query letter, synopsis, the first 3 chapters or 25 pages of your manuscript, and an author biography.

Nonfiction submissions should include a query letter and full proposal.

Please follow these guidelines when submitting queries:

  • The subject line of your email should include the word “Query” along with the title of your manuscript.

  • Please paste content into the body of the email. Attachments will not be reviewed.

  • Please include a contact phone number as well as email address in your submission.

  • Please do not submit a full length manuscript unless requested.

  • Always let me know if your manuscript/proposal is currently under consideration by other agents/publishers.

  • Paper queries submitted via US Mail or any other means (Fed-Ex/UPS and even door-to-door delivery) will not be reviewed or returned.

 I welcome unsolicited materials and look forward to reading your work.
