| I recently founded Chase Literary Agency after nearly eight years with The Waxman Literary Agency. Before becoming an agent I'd worked in magazines; at both The New Yorker and Talk. I've worked at publishing companies; both The New Press and Miramax Books. And for the past ten years I've worked as an agent. In addition to developing my own projects for the US market I coordinate the foreign rights for my clients as well as those of The Waxman Literary Agency. | ||||||||||||||||

I try to respond to all queries I receive. I do not respond to queries that are not specifically addressed to me by name. I prefer straightforward query letters that get right to the point about what the project is and which show the author to be familiar with the marketplace.
If you're submitting fiction please include the first few pages of the manuscript with the query. Please note that I do not represent young adult, romance, or science fiction. |
