• Hartline Literary Agency represents fiction and non-fiction books to leading inspirational and mainline publishers. Over the years, we have built valuable working relationships with editors, which help us guide your work toward the most appropriate markets.
• We currently represent many award-winning authors, and we seek to add both published and promising new authors to our client list. If we recognize potential in your work we will do our best to give it the exposure and attention it deserves.
• Our core strength is representing inspirational fiction and non-fiction books for adults. We do not market children's books, short fiction, screenplays, scripts, poetry, or magazine articles. We represent most genres in inspirational or commercial fiction except science fiction and fantasy. We are probably not the right agency to market your literary fiction, nor do we represent books that contain extraordinary violence, unnecessary profanity, or gratuitous sexuality.
• Hartline Literary Agency follows high ethical standards:
  
  • We do not charge fees for reading or evaluating your work (including outlines, proposals, and manuscripts)
  • We try to respond to queries as quickly as possible (although our workload sometimes stretches the evaluation process longer than we-or you-would like)
  • We have a straightforward, traditional fee structure. Our fee is 15 percent of royalties and advances earned by the work we represent. We are diligent in protecting funds we receive on your behalf (our policy is to pay within five days of receipt of the check from the publisher)
    
• Hartline Literary Agency strives to be accessible. Our brand is "The Agency with Heart." Our clients often tell us that we are friendly and service-oriented, and that they enjoy being represented by the Hartline agents. We're proud of our reputation, and also of the rapport we've built with major publishers.
