Submissions Guidelines:
Areas of Interest:
Marie specializes in children’s writers, with a particular interest in middle-grade fiction. Genuinely character-led stories
that combine beauty and a lightness of touch are most likely to attract quick attention, as are writers who publish across age categories.
No non-fiction or poetry collections.
Guidelines: Please send, by
email only, a concise query letter, highlighting past publishing credits and/or referral
from published authors/TLA clients. Do not submit further writing samples, either by post or email,
until contacted. Due to the volume of submissions received, unsolicited manuscripts
will not be returned.
Please do not query more than one TLA agent.
