Submission Guidelines

The Choate Agency’s interest is in strong commercial fiction and narrative non-fiction. The agency does not handle romance, self-help, confessional memoirs, spirituality, pop psychology, religion, how-to, New Age titles, poetry, or screenplays.

Queries should consist of a brief synopsis or outline and a short biography. Do not enclose/attach a manuscript or sample pages unless requested. The same goes for copies of self-published books. We strongly prefer e-mail queries and do our best to respond to each one, but given we are a small team are not always able to do so. If querying by mail please enclose an SASE.
