Mandy tweeted yesterday that she's responded to all queries and requested materials up until that moment. So if you queried/sent and haven't heard back, resend!

Mandy read my MS in a day and loved it! She's so ridiculously nice and intelligent. I have the MS with other agents so I have to wait but I am beyond excited!

Queried Lindsay Mealing today. Too many of her faves match up to mine, to ignore.

Good luck, Filigree.

I queried Lindsay earlier this month for the same reason--and got my fastest rejection ever: less than twenty-four hours. Hopefully you'll do better.

They're definitely fast at ECLA. I appreciate the quick agents, because it lets you move on if it's not a fit. (And good luck to you - Lindsay's great, but I'm biased!)

Just queried Lindsay after a "like" during PitMad. She responded in about 12 hours and requested the full manuscript. So happy to hear such great reviews about them! Keeping the fingers crossed!

Congratulations, TE. How awesome for you!

Thanks! Mandy is really great and enthusiastic.

Sorry about the R, Filigree, but I'm glad it was useful.

Lindsay and Mandy are both super active on Twitter, too. They're pretty open about things related to the process. (I got to see my own MS as Mandy read it, which was really exciting, although I had to talk myself out of hoping it was mine!)

Got a full request from Mandy, mere days after I sent the query. So quick! Crossing my fingers.

Does anybody know if a rejection from one is a rejection from all at this agency? Their submission guidelines say to query only one agent at a time, so to me that implies it's okay to query same book to somebody else. Thoughts?

Cheering you all on!
"1 agent at a time" suggests that you can query a different agent if you get a rejection from the first.

I just got the most insanely enthusiastic offer of rep from Mandy yesterday evening. I'd love to chat with anyone who has experience with her as I grapple to make my choice between her and another top tier agent.

Rejection, but it was a very kind and personalized letter. It almost makes me feel worse because she seems so sweet. :e2smack:

Got my rejection yesterday after 62 days (she closed queries shortly after I queried to catch up, so patience was a virtue). Very form response with helpful links (most of which I'd already been using such as querytracker).
