I sent Amy Berkower at WH a query letter and synopsis on 9-28-07 because she represents romance (supposedly). I received a mailed response dated October 8, 2007 which was a form letter from her reader, Lily Kim. The section that caught my eye follows: "Due to the enormous number of submissions we receive here at Writers House, and an already crowded client list, we are forced to be extremely selective when considering new clients." Then there's the typical "we're just one house, try others" stuff at the end trying to encourage you to continue writing. The turnaround was so quick, I don't think they actually read the synopsis, which was detailed and had a paragraph for each chapter of the book (72,000 words, 8 page synopsis). I followed their submission guidelines, so I think they passed because they're too busy. Plus maybe because mine is romantic suspense, although I know they represent other romantic suspense authors like J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). Maybe after you get published, you can try them. I was underwhelmed with what I read so far on this board about them. Everyone likes them, but I'm not sure why. They seem to have mail problems, hold onto ms for a long time, and send a lot of form letters. Then, there's the exclusive read thing.
