RESPONSIBLE OUTREACH · Workflow idea

Prepare a relevant query while keeping the author’s work and submission choices in their hands.

For authorized work involving author-approved manuscript details, agent submission criteria, and proposed query letters, compare an author-approved project brief with published agent preferences and prepare an optional query draft. Agent requirements change, manuscripts are valuable unpublished work, and bulk contact can violate stated preferences. Verify each agent’s current guidelines, protect the manuscript and personal details, respect submission limits, and require the author to approve every recipient, attachment, and message before sending. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
