| SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS | ||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
|
To submit the CJLA, please submit your query to either Caren Johnson Estesen (johnsonlitagency@gmail.com), or Elana Roth (elana@johnsonliterary.com). Please query directly with 3-5 sample pages in the body of your email. Attachments will not be read unless a partial or full manuscript has been requested. We only accept email queries; all snail mail queries are discarded without being opened.
What we’re looking for: Caren Estesen is looking for up-market women’s fiction featuring younger heroines (18-35 range), YA, erotica, history (particularly on WWII and the Cold War), social sciences, pop science and health. She is not currently looking for romance (full up at the moment), mystery (the market is too soft to actively represent more than a few mystery authors at this time), commercial fiction (already have some great novels that she wants to turn my attention to) and literary fiction. Elana Roth is looking for high concept middle grade and YA, narrative nonfiction, pop culture and pop science. She is not looking for adult sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery, thrillers or historical fiction. No vampires. |
