| Check out Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents by Jeff Herman or Writer’s Market for the best way to go about preparing your query letters, manuscripts, and proposals. (Another excellent reference is Your First Novel, if we do say so ourselves.) You might even want to take an online course on how to get published like those offered by Gotham Writers’ Workshop. When you’ve done your research, perfected your query letter, and are ready to approach us about your book, here’s where to write us: Ann
Rittenberg Literary Agency, Inc.
Don't send us a query letter by email or fax: it'll get "lost." Send only the first three chapters. If we want to read your entire manuscript, we’ll ask for it, so please wait for our answer before sending it in. (And make sure your pages are double-spaced -- single-spaced pages give us blinding headaches and make us grumpy!) | ||
| Referrals (non-medical) | ||
