20th June Lil Chase #Agent121. Looking for: PICTURE BOOKS, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, YA

Description

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, YA

Lil Chase has over 15 years’ experience in the publishing industry. She works with the Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency, editing their manuscripts and tracking down new talent. For twelve years, Lil was a Senior Commissioning Editor at Working Partners Ltd – the creatives behind massive commercial successes such as Beast Quest, Warriors and the Daisy Meadows series. 

Lil is also an author in her own right: she has written 6 books under her own name, and ghost written many others under various pseudonyms. 

Lil would like to see originality - particularly in voice. A strong character with depth, venturing on a quest that's never been undertaken before, will get her excited. The 'quest' doesn't have to be epic in scale, it could be as small as petting the next-door neighbours dog, it just has to be something new. She also loves humour and is happy to see anything quirky (perhaps even downright silly!). 

For picture books, Lil would like you to submit a covering letter, and 1 complete manuscript, double-spaced, with spreads marked out, in a single word or PDF doc. For chapter books, MG and YA, please send a covering letter, the first three chapters and a synopsis, double spaced, in a single Word or PDF doc.

By booking this session you agree to email your material to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline to agent121@iaminprint.co.uk. Please note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice given in your Agent121.

The submission deadline is: Monday 10 June 2024
