              LITERAY AGENCY QUERY REQUIREMENTS

As mentioned in a previous post, when searching for a literary agent you will discover that many agencies use an online form you must use to make your query. This makes the search much easier than it was in the past for most of the information required is, more or less, the same for all forms.

Here is a list of the information required on many of the forms,

Information on previously published books

Title

Publisher

Release date

If you have self-published a book

Query letter

Synopsis

Sample pages or sample chapters

           The number of pages or chapters varies by agency.

Pitch

Target audience

Books similar to your book

Bio

Most agencies using an online form also require that you are a member of Query Tracker, a free website.

In a future post I will supply a form used by an agency so that you may see what they look like.
