Grand Opening!

So, you know those stores that have been open for months and then put up a banner that says GRAND OPENING and you sort of cock your head to the side...because it's been open, right? but then you walk inside anyway to see if there are any good sales?

This is sort of like that.

I'm officially opening to queries here at Lowenstein Associates. Here's what I'm looking for:

Meredith is interested in a wide range of engaging fiction for all ages, including literary fiction, women’s fiction, thrillers and crime. She is open to science fiction and fantasy that has something new to offer the genres. ENDER’S GAME is her favorite book, so we’ll leave it at that. She does not represent early readers or children’s picture books. Nor does she like children, particularly.

For both nonfiction and fiction, Meredith considers more than just the print possibilities. Projects that lend themselves to apps, enhanced ebooks, and other fresh ways to tell stories are especially appealing.

You can find info on how and where to query on the "Query" tab. Because I'm big on that logic stuff.

  10. Just sent my query. Cringing a little as I envision your inbox (+ myself in a herd... charging a store... and getting trampled...) but here's to hoping.
