Sending Your Work

Double spaced, up to 10 pages
A one-page synopsis of the entire plot, double spaced
A one-page sample query OR cover letter (optional)

Chapter Book or Novel or longer nonfiction manuscript
The first 10 pages, double spaced, of the manuscript
A one- or two-page synopsis, double spaced
A one-page sample query OR cover letter (optional)

Please allow margins of 1 ¼ inches throughout.

Where to send:
After receiving your registration and check, we will notify you of your acceptance by email and ask you to kindly forward your manuscript as soon as possible in hard copy to each agent by regular mail—addresses will be supplied. The agents will read your manuscript in advance of the workshop.

In addition, once you register, you will get an email from Andrea Cascardi explaining how to forward your work to her electronically for sharing with the attendees in your group prior to the workshop. We ask that each attendee carefully read the work of his or her fellow-attendees. We strongly believe in the importance of writers listening to and learning from discussions of other writers' work in a guided setting.

To sum up, please send your material in hard copy, one copy to each agent, addresses to come. Writers' material for fellow attendees will be emailed to a single email address, the address to be supplied approximately two weeks before the workshop.

The agents understand and respect the laws governing copyright, and it is assumed that those attending this event also understand and respect them. To that end, there is a provision on the Registration Form requiring your signature.
