Fraud Notice: We have become aware that our agents have been impersonated by scammers requesting manuscripts or offering representation, which has become a common occurrence in the publishing industry. Please note that Straus Literary personnel will only send emails from our own domain (@strausliterary.com) and will never ask for fees to read manuscripts or upfront fees for any other purpose. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of a communication you received, you may contact us at info@strausliterary.com.

Email submissions to queries@strausliterary.com.

Include a query letter, synopsis, author bio, and the first two chapters of the work in the body of the email. No attachments, please.

Straus Literary does not represent plays or screenplays.

Due to the volume of submissions, we can only reply to those we choose to pursue.
