I submitted my partial about a month ago, but the request mentioned a timeframe of about 6 weeks, so I'm not getting antsy yet. Congrats, Suzanne on the full request
Anyone queried Jodi Reamer and heard back from her assistant Alec Shane lately?
I sent a e-query for Jodi via Alec on 4/1/10 and got a form reject form Alec on 4/29/10

This was a snail-mail query, Mr.Anonymous. My information came from mid-2009, so I might wait and include other WH agents on the next round in October.
Thanks,

Send a polite, short email about your contest status, Flyinghorses.
If the contest is widely-respected and in a genre the agency represents, finalist status (and even better, winning) will certainly be helpful in marketing your work to editors. It's a bit more validation.

Writers House represents fiction and non-fiction, for both adult and juvenile books. Our agents work with literary and commercial fiction, women's fiction, science fiction/fantasy, narrative non-fiction, history, memoirs, biographies, books on psychology, science, parenting, cookbooks, how-to, self-help, business, finance, young adult and juvenile fiction/non-fiction and picture books.
Please send us a query letter of no more than two pages, which includes your credentials, an explanation of what makes your book unique and special, and a synopsis. Also, please include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope for our reply, which generally takes six to eight weeks.
We receive hundreds of submissions a month, all of which receive careful consideration. This takes time, so we encourage your patience. If we request your manuscript, we prefer that you send it to us on an exclusive basis.
Please do not query two agents within our agency simultaneously.
Hey, I must just be missing something, but how to I send a query to a specific agent in writers house? I'm interested in contacting Merrilee Heifetz, but the only address listed is for the general office.
