ATTN: AUTHORS

PE is now open to submissions. Please, query letters only via email. Parkeast Literary Agency services a small and select group of authors. We sign only one or two new clients per year. We only answer if we are interested.

We do not Text, Twitter, Facebook, U-Tube, My Space, etc., as a company. We don't have a website, but are working on one.

NOTE: We do not represent fantasies of any nature, but we do have a brand new science fiction reader/editor. Please direct all science fiction queries to: shellyscifi@bellsouth.net He only answers if he is interested. He tends towards slam bang action, swashbuckling hero saves the world, and strong, likable (or hateable) characters.

PLEASE! No vampires, fairies, secret worlds or societies, although the occasional ghost is okay.

Stories with sex are fine, but please no erotica.

Memoirs only if you are famous or infamous.

YA books should deal with a real problem, such as obesity or sibling rivalry, but can be fiction.

I have had a wonderful experience working with both Donna and Gloria. Their advice and accessibility has made my journey as an author enjoyable and rewarding. I will never be able to repay them for their support and encouragement. I look forward to many more successes with them by my side!--Brenda Stanley, The Zucchini Houdini, I Am Nuchu, The Color of Snow, Like Ravens in Winter.
