How to Submit
If you would like to work with Emily, please submit a query letter and a one chapter sample of your work. She is reading consistently right now, but please give her a grace period of 8 weeks for queries and 14 weeks for full submissions.
If you do not hear from Emily by these estimated times, please know that this isn't a pass! BookEnds agents respond to every query. Sometimes our inboxes get flooded and client workload takes priority. Feel free to send along a nudge on QueryTracker, but please know that she is working hard to get back to everyone.
As a general rule of thumb, if you think you would be a good match with Emily, just query! Shoot your shot. Please don't reach out via email or on Twitter to ask if she would like your book or not before querying.
Emily does not take queries or submissions via email unless explicitly requested.
