I'm glad so many people have had positive experiences with him, but I queried him in March and never got a reply. Is this his normal form of rejection?

Congratulations Emily! That is great news. I wish you all the success in the world.
Enjoy!!!!
I have a question about agencies in general and Maass in particular...
I querried D. Maass a few months ago, and he rejected my sub. Does that mean that I am to cross off all of the other agents in the agency, or can I still submit to them?
The very last thing I want to be is a pest (hounding agent after agent in the same agency). But at the same time, I would hate to miss an opportunity.
Does anyone know the ettiquette?
Thanks so much!!
Doodlebug: See post #74. Since they (as an agency) meet every Wednesday to discuss queries, I'm assuming it COULD mean you're wasting your time querying other agents. It would seem that the first agent you queried would recognize the query when the 2nd agent brought it to the meeting.
Maybe wait a few months?
I can't imagine a "rejected sub" would ever be discussed at that Wednesday meeting. They surely can't discuss every sub they receive and put it to a vote. That would require a very, very long meeting.
Does anyone check out the "What we're looking for this month" feature on the Maass website? It's updated each month and weirdly, some of the examples are very specific.
ANyone, for instance, got a ms on a gamer who reaches the top in South Korea, or a thriller with bike messenger as protag?
Last month, one of the things Maass was looking for had quite a few parallels to my WIP but maybe the time slot has passed!
