Does anyone know if Kristy King is still Steven Malk's assistant even though she's building her own list? And if she isn't, who is?
I got a partial request from Brianne a few days ago. Fingers are crossed!
Does anyone know what her response times are like? I always get nervous when I send material and then don't get a confirmation.
I just read from an interview with Kristy King on someone's blog that she is quitting the agency at the end of this summer:
Wow, thanks Bershka. I won't be submitting to KK at Writer's House then! So interesting...
I queried Brianne on 6/26, got a partial request and then full request same day.
I'll have more news next week - hopefully - but so far my dealings with her have been great. Super prompt, super enthusiastic.
ETA: Update
Brianne requested the full on 6/26 and got back to me on it on 7/1 with terrific comments. She loved it, but it wasn't right for her list, so she passed it on to a senior agent at WH. I got an email the same day from the agent and we chatted this week - she offered representation and I will be signing the contract within the next day or so, once I've tied up some loose ends.
Overall, my experience with Brianne and WH have been terrific!

Cricket - I wouldn't jump the gun. I've seen where queriers have gotten partial requests after more than two months.
