Agency only accepts EMAIL queries. Our response time for an e-mail query is somewhere between one minute and one month.

A few tips regarding queries:
- Please keep them brief, and stick to the facts: an intro paragraph, a paragraph about the work, and a paragraph about you. That’s it.
- Because we are reading these queries on a computer screen, don’t use a small font or colored type. If you stick to twelve-point Times New Roman, you will be fine.
- Unless you indicate otherwise, we will assume that you are querying multiple agents. If you have a strong interest in our agency, you might want to think about submitting to us on an exclusive basis.
- Keep in mind that we get hundreds of queries each week, therefore it is not to your advantage to follow up on your query or ask when you can expect to hear from us.
- However, if you have interest from another agent, you should let us know so we can prioritize your query.

agents: Frank R. Scatoni, Greg Dinkin

interested in: Non-fiction and fiction projects that coincide with agency's interests: history, sports, business, philanthropy, pop culture,

We are accepting queries in all genres except: fantasy, sci-fi, romance, children’s picture books, and westerns.

Only takes queries via EMAIL. For fiction queries, please put “Query” and the title of your book in the subject of your email. For non-fiction queries, please put “Non-fiction query” and the title of your project in the subject. All queries should be typed directly into the body of the email and should include word count. Attachments will not be opened and will be automatically rejected.

Due to an overwhelming number of queries, I have had to change my query response policy and will no longer be responding to every query. I will only respond to queries I am interested in.
