    Suggested Etiquette for Contacting Agents:
  1. Do not send attached files containing manuscripts to agents unless the agent's guidelines expressly state that those are acceptable within initial correspondence.
  2. Email messages should be kept to a length of one or two pages unless explicitly invited to send a manuscript or sample chapters.
  3. Authors should advise an agent where the agent was found listed. This helps them offer updates to any incorrect listings.
  4. Do not send synopses to screenplay agents or movie production companies.
    Some listings offer legal services only:
  5. Do not send queries or submissions to legal services unless the agency specifically states it handles both literary and legal representation.
For uniformity, P&E lists agents by first name just like businesses because businesses don't have last names.

$ - Indicates verified sales to legitimate royalty-paying publishers on record.
$ - Indicates verified negotiation by an agency when the sale was made by the author.
AAR, RWA - Indicates individual membership in organization or recognition. Lost membership or recognition is lined out.
