More information about how to send work to Janet Reid at FinePrint:

 


MAIL:

DO include an SASE. We prefer you send a #10 business envelope with a first class stamp
and that we recycle your manuscript.

 

DO save the “extra things” for someone else.  We only want what we ask for. 
No pens, pencils, chocolates or twenty-dollar bills.  No videos or photographs. 
No print outs from web sites, no print outs of our past email conversations.
No previous books you've published unless specifically requested. 
Unless we ask for it, we don't want it. 

 

DO expect us to take two to three weeks to review your submission from the time we get it.

That means 30 days from the time you sent it.

 

DO send your work typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, in a standard font,
12-point type with single side printing and page numbers please.

 

DO make it easy to read which means bypass the temptation to make it pretty and artistic or eye-catching. 
Don't bind it or put it in a three-ring notebook.  
The best way to stand out in the crowd here is by following the directions.  Really!

 

DO proof read and spell check carefully. We expect you to care about your craft. 
Sloppy proofreading is a danger sign.

 

Expect a form letter if we are not going to ask for the entire manuscript. 
We do not offer critique services or editorial suggestions. 
If you get a lot of these form letters from agents,
we suggest attending a writers’ conferences to help you hone your query or novel.

 

"Not right for us" is not a judgement about the quality of your work.   
We have a particular taste in books and particular needs, like every other agency. 
What we turn away may just be perfect for someone else.




 

We are actively looking for good marketable manuscripts and clients.  Give us your very best shot!
