How To Get Us To Rep­re­sent YOU

Keller Media, Inc. ONLY rep­re­sents non­fic­tion books intended for adults.

We do NOT represent:

• Juve­nile (that means kids books)
• Fic­tion
• Screen­plays (stopped sell­ing them in 1992)
• True crime or any books writ­ten by incar­cer­ated peo­ple  (too creepy)
• Books intended for the Chris­t­ian market
• Per­sonal sto­ries about your amaz­ing spir­i­tual jour­ney, which has led you to believe…
• Illus­trated books, includ­ing pho­tos, line draw­ings and crayon works done by your child
• Gritty books about war, vio­lence (espe­cially against women), or extreme human cruelty
• Auto­bi­ogra­phies or mem­oirs about any­thing (unless you are a celebrity or world-renown for your life’s story)
• Scary, weird, funny, roman­tic, pathetic or any other type of sto­ries about dat­ing online (unless your cur­rent blog has more than 30,000 followers)
• Books that have been chan­neled by ani­mals, aliens, pet rocks, dead peo­ple, etc. This applies even if you really believe you hear Jesus, Mother Theresa, Princess Diana or Gandhi. (Sorry…but do say hello for us!)

If you send us one of the above, you won’t hear back from us at all.  We’re not rude.  You’re just not pay­ing atten­tion, which is decid­edly unpro­fes­sional of you.

We would LOVE to read all about your non­fic­tion book idea in one of these sub­ject areas:

• Busi­ness (sales, man­age­ment, mar­ket­ing, lead­er­ship, entre­pre­neur­ship or finance)
• Self-Help and Pop Psy­chol­ogy (weight loss, get happy, use your brain, have a bet­ter mar­riage, be a bet­ter par­ent, etc. — assum­ing you have a plat­form of some kind to sup­port you spread­ing in this message.)
• Health (any­thing EXCEPT per­sonal sto­ries of illness/recovery or how you cared for an ill person.)
• Pol­i­tics (your impec­ca­ble high-level cre­den­tials are 100% manda­tory — not your the­ory on how Osama could be caught with used chew­ing gum and rot­ten toma­toes hung from trees.)
• Inspi­ra­tional and Meta­phys­i­cal (Note: we’re highly selec­tive here)
• How-To (most sub­jects welcome)
• Ref­er­ence and Com­pendi­ums (the ulti­mate guide­book to…)
• His­tory (all coun­tries and civilizations)
• Sci­ence & Nature (not includ­ing mem­oirs about you and your beloved pet)
• Celebrity or Very Unusual Mem­oirs and Bios
• Pop­u­lar Cul­ture and Cur­rent Affairs (selectively)
• Spir­i­tual (any faith except Christianity)

Send your one-page query briefly stat­ing your sub­ject and cre­den­tials, plus your con­tact info and web­site URL (if applicable) to Query@KellerMedia.com. If we’re inter­ested, you’ll hear back within a few busi­ness days. Please DO NOT con­tact us in the mean­time. We love you, but we’re busy.
