Talcott Notch is very selective
regarding submissions, and we
can agree to consider only a very
few projects. Thus, it's important
to make certain your query is as
thorough and convincing as
possible.


Terms of Service

Talcott Notch offers a one-year
written contract, and requires
30-day notification of
cancellation. Agent receives a
15% commission on domestic
sales, and 20% on foreign sales.
All monies are split at the
publishers.
Our Professional
Philosophy
No form letters
We  believe every agency
submission should be a positive
experience. For that reason, we
never respond to any manuscript
with a form letter. Each submission
is carefully read and evaluated, and
every author receives a detailed
evaluation. We'll let you know
your strong points, and what needs
polishing.
A Working Partnership
Links
Our clients are always involved in
the decision-making processes at
Talcott Notch. We confer with our
authors concerning submissions,
and develop a career plan with
them, keeping in mind the
long-term goals the author has.

Clients are kept aware at all times
of the status of their manuscripts,
and are updated regularly on new
submissions and editors' comments.
 And because we limit the number
of authors we work with, you'll
never feel  you're lost in a crowd.
