OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR QUERIES! :D

Hello! **waves arms wildly**

It's been a super fast, crazy, awesome summer! Lots of trips and selling awesome stuff.

I'm happy to say I am open to queries as of TODAY. 

BUT

Before you query me...you might want to note what it is I'm looking to sign, as I've 
narrowed my focus for the time being:

Children's
Young adult: I'd really love a cyberpunk, thriller, sci-fi, horror, romance, or historical fantasy; however, I'm open to all YA manuscripts, though I do tend to skew toward dark and edgy.

Middle grade: I'm only looking for stories for upper middle grade.


Adults
Romance: paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, thriller, only.

Non-fiction: pop culture, women's issues, technology or lifestyles, only.


I am not looking for chapter books, picture books, screenplays, poetry (this includes novels in verse), erotica, regency romance, inspirational, adult thrillers, adult horror, or women's fiction.


How to submit your query:

• Send a query to QUERY(at)nancycoffeyliterary.com
• Make sure the word QUERY is in the subject line AND "Kathleen Ortiz" (if you do not put my name in the subject line, it won't get to me -- and I'll never see it).
• Paste the query and the first five pages of the manuscript in the body of the email.
• Do not attach anything.
• You will receive an auto-response confirming receipt of your query.
• The agency's policy is that if you do not hear from me within 2 weeks of submitting your query, check my blog query update counter (top, right hand corner of the blog page). If the date you sent your query has passed, then I regret to inform you that my decision is to pass.
• If you do NOT receive an auto-response message within 24 hours of sending your query, please resend.

Looking forward to reading some GREAT stuff!!
