John Galvis Literary Agency

Submissions Guidelines

Please Follow Carefully and send to:

query@johngalvisagency.com

All queries must include a brief author's bio and a catchy set-up for the premise of the story. Your query letter is the only way we get to know you, so make it a good one! We'll reply only when interested, but if we are, you'll hear from us within one month.

 

Do not mail unsolicited manuscripts to us, please. They will not be accepted, and you are only destroying trees. If we do request a hard copy of your manuscript, please make it a disposable one, since new postal regulations make it difficult for us to return them.

 

We are interested in most genres of adult fiction and non-fiction. No screenplays, cookbooks, photo books or children's books. Please be sure to send your very best, professionally edited version of your manuscript.

Send your query letter pasted to the body of your email. We do not accept attachments, because we really don't like viruses, for some strange reason. Write 'query' in the subject of your email and the name of the agent to whom you are sending. 

Please be sure to add your contact details.

We also recommend you read Michael Larsen's, How to Write a Book Proposal before querying about non-fiction.
