Please note that we have a full client list and are only considering a few new clients a year. If you are interested in representation, please send a personalized query letter including a short biography citing your prior publishing credits, your media experience, and an overview or the first 5 pages of your manuscript in the body of the email to submissions@lindachester.com. Query emails sent to personal agency addresses will not be reviewed. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming number of queries we receive, we can no longer respond to each one. We will contact you within four weeks if we are interested in your material. Snail mail submissions will not be reviewed.

Film & Foreign Rights

The agency works closely with world rights agents based in New York City to license foreign rights to the books we represent. In turn, we work in tandem with a gifted group of film agents based in Hollywood and New York who option and sell the dramatic rights (i.e. film, television and stage rights) to our literary properties. However, we do not accept screenplay submissions.

If you are a foreign agent, foreign scout, film agent, or production company representative who wishes to inquire about the availability of film or foreign rights, please contact the relevant agent as described below.
