Veritas Literary Agency

Submission Guidelines

We accept short queries or proposals via email only. If you are sending a proposal or a manuscript after a positive response to a query, please write "REQUESTED MATERIAL" on the subject line and include the initial query letter.

Fiction: Please include a cover letter listing previously published work, a one-page summary and the first two chapters.

Nonfiction: If you are sending a proposal, please include an author biography, an overview, a chapter-by-chapter summary, and an analysis of competitive titles.

We do our best to review all queries within 4-6 weeks. However, during periods where there is an especially high volume of queries, we may not be able to respond personally. If you haven't heard from us within 12 weeks please assume that your project was not a match for the agency.
