Claudia, THANKS! You are the perfect example of an Agent! I can tell you without question that your free Monday eNewsletters and E-Mails alone are so exact and straight to-the-point that they provide more REAL value than all the other empty-promise, we’ve all paid for. I’m a fan and I can’t help but to admire you.

The Wittmann Agency is always looking for new exciting titles to carry in the agency that will “complement” our current portfolio.

Your Rise & Shine Submission Process

If I like your work(s), I’ll ask you to see more material and then contact you to discuss it in detail.

If I have decided not to offer Rise & Shine global rights representation on the basis of the material you’ve sent in, I’ll reply with a brief note.

I’m unable to send detailed critiques or detailed comments because of the volume of material I receive. Comments are a huge responsibility which requires serious thought and time commitment. This is not a level of service I can offer when declining submissions.

If I say no to representing you or your work at The Wittmann Agency, it will not necessarily mean that I didn’t like the work, but I owe it to my existing clients not to become over-committed and through long-standing (20+yrs) professional experience I also have an informed eye as to what I can currently place with publishers in German-speaking territories and throughout the world.

Since I have limited space in my boutique agency, I carefully curate the works I bring in to my agency.

Once I reviewed your SubmissionCard and think your work(s) would be a great fit, I will E-Mail you about setting up an agency agreement and on how I would like to proceed to the next steps.

Due to the overwhelming number of submissions, I may not be able to respond within 5 working days back to every single E-Mail but I do try. 

However, I do take this process very seriously and review every submission by E-Mail. I can no longer accept submissions by post – these will not be considered or returned.

I look forward to hearing about your exciting ideas!!!

Thank you again for your interest in The Wittmann Agency. I really look forward to hearing from you and seeing your inspiring works!
