Stimola Literary Studio LLC

Eclectic in tastes but not in standards, the Stimola Literary Studio, highly selective in representation, invites unsolicited queries on picture books, novels, and graphic novels, as well as select projects in nonfiction, most of the year. While we have always striven to provide the courtesy of response to all queries, the extraordinarily large number now received makes that no longer possible. We can only respond now to those we wish to pursue further and will not be responsible for manuscripts submitted without regard to this policy, which supercedes any information listed in the writers’ guides or on other websites.

Queries, no more than one page in length, including synopsis, credentials and statement of what makes book distinctive or unique, may be sent via e-mail or snail mail. See CONTACT US for more details.

At present,
we are MOST interested in:

spare of language/illustrated picturebooks for the very young

middle grade/YA mysteries with a fun “puzzling” dimension

YA thrillers, supernatural, and/or sci-fi novels

multi-cultural middle or teen fantasy (African, eastern, middle eastern)

picture book texts of 1000 words or more

fables, folklore or traditional fairytales

poetry or “mood pieces”
