Overview

First-time writers are welcome and we work diligently to sell all the work we represent. Each manuscript is introduced to editors by telephone or email, before the submission is made. Writers will welcome the attentive detail given their manuscripts since publishing houses can no longer afford to provide the extensive editing services they once did. We can provide editing should it be necessary.

We represent only the most professional projects for submission to our respected list of publishers. They count on the agent to screen and polish proposals, and present work that is ready for publication.

Hundreds of writers have found that Martin-McLean Literary Associates LLC can match the right publisher to their works. We tap an extensive field of publishers and other writing professionals, selecting from a number of variables for stability and promotional efforts. It takes an exemplary effort to ensure this match.

Once your work is sold, your contract is thoughtfully and carefully negotiated to meet your needs.
