How to submit:
Your e-mail query should be a one-page
letter with no e-mail attachments
(attachments will not be downloaded).
It should include a brief summary of
your story, and all pertinent
information concerning the author.
Don't ramble, get right to the point.
What is your story about? What
genre? What is the word count of
your book? You would be amazed
at the number of queries I receive
that do not include the genre and
length of the story. All responses
will be through e-mail, and all paper
queries will be recycled.
Please send all
queries to
Query@vivianbeck.com.
It would be helpful if you typed
"QUERY" in the subject line.
Response time:
-
Query Letters - 1-12 months
-
Partial Manuscripts - 3-12 months
-
Full Manuscripts - 6-12 months.

Please
Note:
The above deadlines are estimates
only! The response time of
requested submissions may vary depending
upon the needs of our
clients and the number of manuscripts
currently under consideration.
What to expect:
If the story intrigues me, the author
is invited to submit a partial
manuscript (a synopsis and the first
three chapters), or a synopsis and the
completed manuscript. As of
January 15th, 2007, the Vivian Beck
Agency will accept only Electronic
Submissions! Instructions
on how to submit will be included in
the e-mail request to review your
work.
