The Lark Group is currently CLOSED to queries. We will reopen in 2027.

We're interested in compelling adult literary and commercial projects

Please read our guidelines before sending your query.

Query Guidelines

What We Want

• Adult literary fiction and adult commercial fiction (including historical fiction, women's fiction, mysteries, and thrillers)

• Queries that clearly state what the book is, what it's about, how long it is, and who it's by

• Queries with the subject "Query: [Title]"

• Polished, proofread, and enthusiastic queries

What We Don't Want

• Science fiction, nonfiction, children's books (including YA), or screenplays

• Unsolicited manuscripts sent without a query letter (we won't read them)

• Queries for books that aren't yet written 

• Queries with attachments (we won't open them)
