“Sara has changed my life twice, first when she pre-empted my debut novel as an editor and then again when she became my agent — and I've no doubt she's not done changing my life yet. It's invaluable to have her wealth of industry knowledge, business acumen and work ethic on my side, and especially her editorial experience. I have complete trust in her advice which makes the ups and downs of this job much easier to navigate. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
Bestselling author, Catherine Ryan Howard

How to submit:
Here is what you can expect from the submission process:
1) Submit the first 50 pages of your script using the form below, together with a cover note outlining what your book is about.
2) If I like these early pages, I will call in the entire manuscript.
3) Assuming the novel feels like a good fit, I will then want to meet with you either in person or online, after which point I may offer representation.
4) We will work together editorially to make certain the novel is as good as it can be before moving forward to submission stage.
Please be aware that due to the high number of submissions received, many are turned down. For guidance on how to prepare your script, please visit the FAQs page.
