How to submit: Please query me by following The Gernert Company's submission guidelines (see www.thegernertco.com): send a query letter to info [at] thegernertco.com, with "Attn: Andy Kifer " in the e-mail's subject line. I'd prefer to see the first few chapters pasted into the body of the e-mail. Snail mail queries to The Gernert Company's office, addressed to me, are fine too! I promise I read everything that comes my way, though at Gernert we tend to respond only if something piques our interest.
