The agency is a service provider for serious German-language authors. Please be advised that we only rarely represent works and authors in other languages.
It does not matter whether you have written a novel or non-fiction. We are accepting submissions in all book categories.
Feel free to email us a brief outline of your manuscript and tell us how your career as an author has progressed so far.
Please also send us the following documents:
- A short synopsis of no more than 3 pages. It should contain: themes, plot, characters, narrator for novels and short stories. Topic, aim, core statements for non-fiction books.
- 30-50 pages of your text (from beginning, middle and end)
- Personal information including your postal address and email address.
Please note:
- Unfortunately, we can only consider applications with completed projects. We recommend only sending your book to us when you feel that the manuscript is ready.
- Due to the large volume of submissions we receive, we can only contact you if we think it your project is worth pursuing further.
- What we do not represent: Non-fiction: esotericism, leisure/hobby, nature/garden, traffic, travel guides, education, reference works. Fiction: plays, children’s and YA literature, comics, cartoons, graphic novels. Sci-Fi, fantasy (and horror) only with strong reference to the present day or subgenres such as Urban Fantasy or Romantasy.
We will get in touch with you as soon as possible! Under normal circumstances, this will be within eight weeks.
