Cherokee McGhee publishes adult fiction that takes readers on a journey.

Places, people, and plots that are extraordinary capture our attention.

Please do not submit the "next Harry Potter" or the "next Grisham" or the next manuscript that is modeled after a best seller.

We're looking for originality, fast paced plots, and fascinating characters that have the potential to find a new audience and to create its own following.

To query, please e-mail a short query letter with a synopsis and the first 50 or so pages (all in the body of the e-mail). Attachments will not be opened.

We keep a full workload and all queries are read carefully, so response time may be as fast as a couple of days or as long as three weeks. We will respond.

We know all the hard work you put into creating your novel. We appreciate it and are excited to see what you have done.
