(Query letter pet peeves — Agents Tell All.)
She is seeking: Cate is seeking Young Adult and Middle Grade, New Adult and Adult Romance (specifically Historical Romance), and select erotica and LGBT. She is a fan of quirky, character-driven Young Adult, and snort-out-loud Middle Grade adventure. She loves Historical and Fantasy and would like to find a steampunk that explores new settings and ideas beyond Victorian London. She is also interested in magical realism, high fantasy, mystery, and any combination of the above.
How to submit: Please send a query letter, a 1-2 page synopsis, and the first five pages of your manuscript to query [at] corvisieroagency [dot] com, addressed to Cate with “Query” and your title in the subject line. You can place the text in the body of the e-mail or include as an attachment.

Hello, I am Elizabeth, and would like to know if you could help me get some of my novels published, though they aren’t finished I could send them to you (email). I write in first person point of view and mostly do realistic work but one of them is quite queer, I have excellent use of grammar and vocabulary in all of my stories but one which is supposed to be relatable to most teens. Anywho, I am looking for a literary agent and I was hoping you could help me.
