One week until Dunham Literary will be closed to *unsolicited* queries (July 15th-Sept. 7th).
Have a referral, a conference code, or a pitch contest ❤️ (heart)? Those are solicited queries & you can still send one. Everyone else - hang onto your query till Sept!

Summertime! ☀️☀️☀️
Which means Dunham Literary will be closing to *unsolicited* queries next month (July 15th-September 7th).
If you have a referral, a conference code, or a pitch contest ❤️ (heart) - those are solicited queries & you can still send one.

My poor nearsighted and overtaxed eyes are begging you... please use Times 12 or Arial 12 in queries....

If you achieved your #NaNoWriMo goals, congratulations! (And it doesn’t have to be 50K words.)
But... take your time & revise your draft BEFORE querying, please!

We’ve just re-opened to queries and they’re pouring in! ☔️📨😊
#querytip :
@JennieDunhamLit & I SHARE queries, so no need to send one to each of us.
The good news: more bang for your buck! 😊
The bad news: if you’ve been rejected by one of us, it’s really by both of us.🙁
