LITERARY AGENT IS LOOKING FOR SUBMISSIONS

HUMOR: Any topic is fair game except smut. It should be short, and require either illustration or photography. It can be zany, quirky, irreverent, peculiar, envelope-pushing - even bizarre - but not off-putting. Think of it as a book you’d give to someone, purchased as a last-minute, spontaneous gift.
REFERENCE: Take a complex subject and make it simple; break it into small chunks so that items can be understood via short complete passages. It can relate to home owning, vacationing, pets, nature, science, health, travel, leisure, virtually any subject on which you are the expert (credentials of some sort will be necessary). “Brilliant solutions to every-day problems” is one editor’s guide to keep in mind for submissions.
YOUNG ADULT FICTION: No catastrophes, no terror, no disasters, please. No overt sex; no sci-fi.
ADULT NON-FICTION: A wide-open genre (all good ideas are encouraged): gift books, game books, picture books, biographies, war stories, cat books, whatever.
ADULT FICTION: Anything except short stories, poems, romance, fantasy and science fiction.

For details, please see http://www.nobleliteraryagency.com

Compensation: $5,000 plus royalty contract for each accepted manuscript
Reply to: mikenoble@nobleliteraryagency.com
Ideas as well as manuscripts are acceptable. Please submit Word docs and/or PDFs
