Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency

Follow Natalie Fischer on twitter

Natalie is getting close to accepting e-subs. She has 989 followers right now I think and she twitted she would change to e-subs once she reaches 1,000 followers.

Here is a link if you are not following her yet ;-)

She's at 999 followers!

Edit: Natalie's now open to e-queries!

[email protected] - query, synop, first 15 pages in BODY of email.

I've had my full with Taylor for a complete month now.

I already have a query out to Jill that's two months old. I guess that means no, and the website states you can't query more than one agent. So, unfortunately I can't take advantage of this new opportunity, although I helped Natalie check to see if her auto-response worked!

How long is Natalie email accepting submissions for?

It's permanent. They will stop taking hard-copy submissions soon.

That's wonderful! So there is no need to rush one to her then!

Anyone with a full out to Taylor?

Just an FYI for anyone that has a full with Natalie. She posted this on twitter:

Thanks for that update - I wish there was a similar update from Taylor

Via Natalie's Twitter. Looks like the no response means no policy extends to emails as well since I e-subbed on 8/27 and got no response.

#queries update: e-subs read through 8/29. Paper read through 8/24 (e-subs get same-day-read requests, paper, within 5 days).

Is it only Natalie who is taking email queries or the other agents as well?

This just up on Natalie's Twitter:

Update: paper subs read through Aug 30th. Taking some home - if no reply by Tues, it's a pass. #queries

So sorry Tilt. I know it hurts way more for a full.

Keep at it. Never give up!

Aw, I'm sorry. Did she ask for an R & R?

And ditto what honeysock said.

I offered a newer version with drastic plot changes of what she had, but she just got back to me and said she didn't connect.

Tilt, so sorry. Fingers crossed that you get good news very soon. *hugs*

I e-queried Taylor a few days after she opened up e-subs. Got a request for the first 70 pages yesterday. Not a full request, but still very happy!

Awesome news ether!!! Keep us updated We're at around 8 weeks on our full and are waiting with crossed fingers!

I e-queried Jill Marr yesterday for my humor memoir and got a request for the full proposal within three hours! She said my project looked like a lot of fun and said she wanted to share it with her colleagues, as well as her boss, who is out of the office this week. To say I am excited about this development is an understatement! This was my 25th query, and second to ask for a full proposal (the other who requested has had it a week now, but hoping to hear something on that soon).

Congratulations, Amy. How exciting!

If you're interested in submitting to Natalie Fischer, you might be interested in reading the interview I did with her on my blog: http://shelleywatters.blogspot.com/2010/10/fabulous-friday-agent-interview-natalie.html

Good luck querying!

Congrats, Amy!
I really liked Jill Marr when I met her at a conference.
Keep us updated.
