The DSM Agency represents authors in
many categories of writing. From top-selling nonfiction like Jeffrey
Fox’s How to Become CEO and How to Become a Rainmaker
and Jason Kelly’s Neatest Little Guides to making and managing
money, to literary fiction like The Time it Snowed in Puerto
Rico by Sarah McCoy, we are always seeking the very best work
by some of the market’s most interesting writers.
We
do not charge a reading fee. Our commission schedule is standard
at 15 percent domestic.
The
DSM Agency's specialties are business and self-help books from
top professionals in their fields of expertise. We are also looking
for books in categories such as current affairs, narrative, biography
and memoir, lifestyle, social sciences, gender, history, health,
classical music, sports, and women’s issues. In the fiction camp,
we are currently interested in representing literary fiction that
has commercial appeal and strong screen potential. Go to our biography
section to find out more.
Unfortunately, we are
currently not interested in representing romance, coffee table
books, art books, trivia, pop culture, humor, westerns, occult
and supernatural, horror, poetry, textbooks, children’s books,
picture books, film scripts, articles, cartoons and professional
manuals.
The best way for authors
to contact us is with a carefully-prepared query letter sent via
e-mail. Please be sure to read our submission
guidelines and Outline of the Publication
Process very carefully before you send your query. Good luck
in all of your writing.
