Agents

Dear Agents,
I’m pleased to present the Sourcebooks editorial staff responsible for acquiring our eclectic list of agented nonfiction, fiction and children’s books. Their interest lists should help you know to whom you should send specific queries or manuscripts. Nonetheless, if you’re unsure, pick any one—we take pride in the fact that we happily share and communicate, so your author’s work will be read by the right editor. My thanks to you for your creativity, interest and support.

Best Wishes,
Todd Stocke
Vice President, Editorial Director
