Submissions
Thank you for your interest in working with us. Please know that while we value your submission, due to the high volume of queries we receive, we are unable to respond to each one individually. We welcome unsolicited submissions but prioritize those that come by referral.
At this time, we accept submissions only through QueryManager and do not respond to phone, social media, or printed queries.
To submit to one of our agents, please click their name to access the agent’s individual QueryManager form. Please only submit to one agent at a time.
This inbox is checked regularly, but please expect a response within four weeks if we are interested in discussing your project further. We regret that, owing to the volume of submissions we receive, we are unable to respond unless an agent is interested. Do not hesitate to query another agent at Lucinda Literary should you not hear back within four weeks.
