Submissions guidelines

FOR AUTHORS

Trentin Agency considers a limited number of unsolicited submissions from native English-speaking authors.
We are primarily interested in work with strong narrative tension, tonal identity, and cross-media potential — particularly crime, thriller, horror, dark prestige, dystopian or near-future fiction, as well as distinctive narrative nonfiction, memoir, and grounded contemporary drama with clear international potential.
We look for projects with a clear voice, a compelling narrative arc, and the ability to travel across markets and formats. We are especially drawn to work we can meaningfully position, develop, and support over time.
We welcome submissions from writers of all backgrounds and remain particularly interested in distinctive fiction and narrative nonfiction by Black and African American writers.

Please note that a submission review does not imply an offer of representation. Trentin Agency evaluates each project independently and, at its sole discretion, may decide whether to request additional material, offer editorial feedback, or explore a possible path toward representation

Submission materials
Please send to info@trentinagency.com
– a short author bio
– a one-page pitch including genre, word count, and target audience
– a detailed synopsis (1-3 pages)
– the first 30-50 pages of the manuscript
For nonfiction proposals, please include a project overview, chapter outline, and a sample chapter.

We only consider unpublished, uncontracted, or otherwise available work.
We consider one submission at a time per author. Please wait at least 8 weeks before sending additional material.
Due to the volume of submissions, we are unable to respond personally to every query and do not provide free editorial feedback on unsolicited material.
We do not charge reading fees, submission fees, or upfront representation fees.
For selected titles we represent directly, we may also handle book-to-film and book-to-TV rights. We do not shop adaptation rights for books whose rights we do not directly represent.

For US authors and editors, Trentin Agency works selectively as a bridge between the US market and Italy/Europe, with a focused international list and a highly curated approach.
