Ooh wouldn't it be lovely! A chance, perhaps, to dream.Ms. Bent sent me a request for a full last week. I wrote a note thanking her, but expressing that I have other representation. My note bounced – 3 times – because of a full mailbox. I queried in late Jan/early Feb. So… chances are she hasn’t read your query yet.

The Bent Agency still says:
PLEASE NOTE: as of May 1, 2009, we have put a temporary hold on submissions as we work our way through an overwhelming backlog of submissions. We hope to be back up and running by the end of the month.
Well, it's past the end of May and half way into June. Any word if she's open to queries again and just hasn't updated her website? I'd love to query her.
She was my first request for my YA novel, The Guardians. Sadly, it was in it's very first draft stages, and she passed. She was a real sweetheart about it.
I'm hoping she's opened back up by the end of the month b/c I want to query her my WIP....which should be finished and Betaed by then. I'm in overdrive mode!!!
Go Juneluv! I might requery later this summer on a new WIP myself.
jennibly--I queried her back in March. Per her blog, some of the March queries slipped through the cracks, and I actually didn't get the request for the partial until a couple of weeks ago. We'll see how it goes.
Received a full request today from a query!
Question -- I was instructed to include my last name, first name, and date in the document. Does this mean in the header, do you think? What about page numbers?
Not to be paranoid, but I'd like to make sure I format correctly.
Thanks.

Tbrosz,
Thanks -- I'm familiar with standard formatting, but the request I received was for something different.

Interesting. If she wants something "off-standard," it might be useful when you've hammered it out to post details here for others who might need to know.
It would be nice if agents and publishers who want something other than standard format would put their preferences prominently on their websites...
