Thank you for your interest in submitting to us

Great Dog Literary accepts submissions from both children's and adult authors via the QueryManager portal. WE DO NOT ACCEPT SUBMISSIONS VIA EMAIL.

We will not represent any work that has been generated using A.I. We will ask you to verify, in your contract, that you have not used any Artificial Intelligence technologies or apps in the creation of the text, illustrations or other content in the work that you submit to us. 

If you are a writer who is interested in submitting a manuscript, please visit the OUR PEOPLE  page to find the Great Dog Literary agent best suited for your work. You can query each agent specifically from that page. 

Please only query the agent who may be the best fit for your project. We are a small agency and we talk among ourselves all the time. If the agent to whom you submit feels your manuscript is a better fit for another agent at Great Dog Literary, they will pass it along. PLEASE DO NOT SEND THE SAME QUERY TO MULTIPLE AGENTS AT GREAT DOG LITERARY. That creates an unnecessary backlog of reading for us and does not serve your interests.

We will read your query and if we are interested in reading more, will send you a request to upload the full manuscript.

Illustrators should also visit the OUR PEOPLE page, select the agent to whom you wish to submit, and query with links to your portfolio or other visual work online. Alternatively, if you have illustrations and/or a dummy for the work you are pitching, let us know that in your query and we can send a request which will allow you to upload a PDF.

We accept queries only via QueryManager as described above. If we are interested in reading further we will be in touch within 4-6 weeks. We regret that we cannot guarantee a response to every submission; if you have not heard back from us within 6 weeks, we are declining the opportunity to represent your work at this time.
