Jenoyne is also my agent. I’ve had a very different experience working with her than what has been posted on this board. When I sent her my query, she responded within a few minutes asking for the full. I emailed it to her on a Friday and by Monday she had read it and was offering representation. Within three weeks of signing with her, my book was on submission at several major houses. Everything moved very quickly.
Unfortunately, after a couple of very close calls, my first book didn’t sell and I was worried that it would affect our relationship. But she stuck with me, remained enthusiastic and agreed to represent my future work. And I’m glad she did because she recently sold my latest novel in a 3-book deal. We’re now going back and revisiting my first project.
I’m not famous, nor do I have a major platform or any sort of industry connections. I queried her cold and have had nothing but a positive working relationship with her since. She’s a wonderful person and a great agent.
