No.

We are first and foremost a literary agency, and work with outside coagents should one of our books be adapted for the screen or for the stage. We do NOT accept material that has been crafted specifically for these mediums.

Please do NOT send it.

We do not accept paper queries of any kind, seeing as we are only in the office sporadically. Furthermore, many of our agents work remotely, so it is much easier for us to forward them an online query than to send a physical copy.

Any paper copies we receive will NOT be reviewed, and we are not responsible for returning material to you.

Unfortunately, no.

Not all of our agents work from the office, and we cannot guarantee that any mail will be forwarded to them within an appropriate amount of time. Any queries that are mailed to our office will not receive a response and will be disposed of.

Full-time employment opportunities can be found on Publisher's Lunch Job Board.

We do not work with projects that have been created by AI, or where AI has been heavily used throughout the creative process. Storytelling is an art-form best done by humans, and we reserve the right to run any query we receive through an AI detector.

As for the Anthropic Settlement, please see the Anthropic Page on our website for more information.

We love that you want to send fan-mail, and you can direct the mail to come to our Brooklyn office:

David Black Literary Agency

335 Adams St. Suite 2707

Brooklyn, NY 11201

Any fan-mail we receive is scanned and sent to the authors to read (all of whom greatly appreciate and enjoy it!)

If you should like to send your fanmail via email, please direct it to Anna Zinchuk at azinchuk@dblackagency.com

However, we want to make it clear that while our authors love to hear from the fans, with the amount of mail they receive it is impossible for them to respond to it all. Most of them are busy working on new books for you to love!

While we do not share the personal contact information of our clients, we would be happy to pass along any note, comment, or question that you may have.

Please email Anna Zinchuk at azinchuk@dblackagency.com with a short note that details what you are sending and to whom you are hoping it reaches, along with the note itself.

For queries regarding foreign, audio, or film rights: please see our rights page for the proper contact information.

As much as we wish our clients came into our office every day to visit, the truth is that many of them are spread throughout the entire country, and they do not have the opportunity to sign books that are sent to us.

Therefore, please do NOT send us books to be signed. We are not responsible for returning any mail that comes to our office.
