Fiction manuscripts must be complete; nonfiction requires a full-length proposal. Query only one agency agent at a time; after a pass, you may approach another.
Required samples and response policies depend on the individual agent’s form—the agency does not publish a universal sample-page requirement or response deadline.
Scripts follow the separate management submission policy.
