We tend to edit as we read, and you may find your marked up pages of value. If after reading your synopsis and three chapters, we remain interested in your work, we will ask for the complete manuscript. At that time, we will ask for a term of exclusivity as we read the manuscript. Our time, like yours, is valuable. The term maybe as short as two weeks or as long as eight weeks, it will depend on the agency's demands at a given time.
Fiction is difficult to sell.
It is a subjective market. We must be totally committed to a project before agreeing to represent your book. Should we pass on your work, our decision doesn't lessen the quality of your efforts, it simply means The Rosenberg Group isn't the right agency for your book.
