Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. |
Please note: Kelly is currently CLOSED to all unsolicited queries, but is still open to requested material from conferences, pitch fests, and other events.
Querying is one of the toughest parts of the industry because it needs attention to detail, patience, and a lot of self-determination. Writers notoriously lack the self-esteem, which is what makes querying so difficult. So, to give you a few hints and helpful tips before submitting, below are a couple articles to help you gain that querying self-esteem and perfect those words!

When all else fails, or if you still feel you need some help, I highly suggest utilizing Susan Dennard's Writing Resources, or Jane Friedman's Writing Advice Archive. Both of these women are amazing sources for writing advice, encouragement, and tricks of the trade and I strongly advise you to go through their articles for writers before submitting a query to any agent or editor.
Now...Are you ready to submit your query?
You can submit your query through e-mail to Kelly@reesagency.com with "Query:" in the subject title, as well as your age range (MG, YA, Adult), genre (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, etc.), and the title of your manuscript. Without "Query:" in the subject line, your query will not get sorted into the correct box. I prefer your query letter and synopsis pasted into the e-mail, with your first 10 pages attached as a word document.
In order to submit a submission (i.e. PitMad, Pitch Wars, PitDark, Savvy Authors, Conferences, etc.), please submit through e-mail to Kelly@reesagency.com with "Submission:" in your subject line, as well as the event the pages were requested from, your age range (MG, YA, Adult), genre (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, etc.), and the title of your manuscript. Make sure you still paste in your query letter and synopsis, and then attach the requested amount of pages to the e-mail as a word document.
Have a quick question before you submit your query? Use the form below. Please note that I will not answer questions which have already been answered on my website, or that require you to simply do your research. I don't want to be mean and ignore anyone, but if your question can be answered by a simple Google search, you can't expect me to answer and put more time into your question than into my authors. Please, before asking, DO YOUR RESEARCH!
