Query Guidelines

Queries from all authors are welcome, for any type of project.
Writers from diverse or underrepresented communities are always strongly encouraged to query.

Please find our agents’ reading interests and contact information on our About page. Email your query letter along with the first ten pages pasted into the body of your message. You are welcome to send your query to more than one of our agents simultaneously, but please CC openly so we’re aware. Please do not send unsolicited attachments. Non-fiction authors, please paste your full proposal into the body of your email. Don’t worry about the formatting! We’ll reach out to you if we want to see the pretty version. Your query letter should ideally include some information about yourself, as well as how you heard about The Kepner Agency.

Please note that not all queries will receive a response, but if we think we may be able to help you, we'll get in touch and ask to see more.
