Submission Guidelines
WME Books accepts unsolicited submissions and actively considers work from first-time authors. Writers should query an individual agent through that agent’s profile page, where specific interests and preferred submission formats are listed. Queries are submitted using the query button provided on each agent profile.
Writers should query only one WME Books agent at a time. If there is no response within six weeks, they may query another agent in the department. Due to submission volume, the agency does not respond to every query. WME Books does not consider or represent screenplays, and all submissions are subject to the agency’s published submission terms and conditions.
