We are very interested in non-fiction projects that are backed by your particular expertise and/or life experience. Ideally, authors should know who the target audience is for their work, and have a strong marketing platform geared to that audience, or be professional writers co-authoring with an expert.

FinePrint agents represent many different subject areas in nonfiction, including business, crafts, current events, celebrity, food and cooking, travel, finance, theatre arts, gender and race issues, history (political, social, economic, cultural histories and histories of ideas), lifestyle, military, mind/body/spirit, inspirational, health/fitness, self-help, women's issues, politics, psychology, parenting, religion, popular culture, music, new age, true crime, memoir and narrative nonfiction. Please look at the profiles of the individual agent before making your query to see if his/her interests match your project.

Send a query letter, proposal, and sample chapters. PLEASE PICK A SPECIFIC AGENT WHO IS RIGHT FOR YOUR PROPOSAL AND MAKE SURE YOUR COVER LETTER/QUERY IS ADDRESSED TO THEM. If querying via email, paste everything into the body of the e-mail.
