The Seymour Agency is divided into two separate divisions that function separately and independently from one another. Each division has its own separate contract and set of regulations.

The Seymour Agency, WGA: Film/Entertainment

For submissions, merely email a logline of your project. Do not send loglines, treatments or scripts through the mail. If Mary Sue is interested in your logline, she will contact you. If it isn't something she's looking for, she cannot respond due to time constraints. If your project is accepted, Mary Sue works only with a WGA approved contract and adheres to all regulations of WGA.

The Seymour Agency, AAR: Literary

To submit material to The Seymour Agency, can email a brief query. No enclosures will be opened and no emailed materials will be considered. Can also use any other type of mail.

To submit nonfiction, please send a proposal written in standard format with author's bio, competitive titles, overview, etc. If you have a sample chapter to demonstrate your style of writing, include it.

To submit fiction, send title page stating genre and/or targeted audience with word count, half page author's bio, a synopsis and the first fifty pages of text. The only fiction The SA handles is romance, Christian books.

If writers want their material returned, they must include SASE. If writers want simply a response, they must include a response letter-sized SASE. Due to high mail volume, materials without enclosed SASE can not be returned. (Sorry about that...)

Please don't email manuscripts or fax queries or materials.

Mary Sue is a member of AAR and adheres to their regulations.

Mary Sue is a spiritual person and often attempts to soften a rejection with a prayer card; if this would bother you, you may not want to query her.
