For Rights, Agents, and Publishers

We queried nearly 300 agents (294, to be precise), and while we received much encouragement, our project fit no one’s list. We often heard a version of “Wow, this is great and you can really write, but we don’t know any publisher to sell this to.” :/ Ann thus created her own tiny publisher, Swallow and Quill Literary, and she and Monique self-published through it, doing all the necessary work ourselves. We therefore hold all the rights.

If you wish to talk with us about obtaining rights for fair use, in education, or a commercial venture, or if you are an established agent or established publisher and would like to approach us about representation or publishing, you may use the form below.

If you wish to offer book design, editing, marketing, self-publishing etc. services, don’t bother: we have these capacities already. Messages to this effect will be deleted.
