The Purcell Agency may be open or closed to submissions separately by agent. See each Agent's QueryManager.com Account to see if open or not. We do take pitches at conferences, so watch Twitter for upcoming events, and our list of appearances below.

UPCOMING PITCH SESSIONS

Cathie Armstrong will be at Southern California Irvine Writer's Conference Sept 16-18, 2022.

If querying, DO NOT USE the old TPAqueries@gmail.com to submit. We have moved over to QueryManager.com, part of QueryTracker.net, to accept queries for the time being. "One Day Unsolicited Query Openings" will continue to be announced sporadically on Twitter if one of the agents is not open yet. Watch @TPurcellAgency for those announcements. FOR AGENTS Bonnie Swanson & Cathie Armstrong, WATCH THEIR TWEETS FOR one-week subs openings and GO TO SUB GUIDELINES PAGE on this site for exact details! Thank you.
