Thanks I actually forgot that another agent requested a partial way back when I first started querying, but they turned it down. Larsen Pomada. So, that makes two that requested partials. Better than I thought! I've started my querying process again.
Shoot. I had a good question and now I can't remember it. Anyway - I scrapped the Agent Inbox thing. I hate losing those six contacts, but lesson learned.
Thanks for the info - I just rec'd a full request from another agency, Sarah Jane Freymann. JR hasn't asked for my full yet, but her letter says that if she does, she wants it on an exclusive basis. I guess I'm okay to send it to SJF since JR hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm just not sure what to do if she does.
Hi all, does anybody know who the assistant to Jodi Reamer is?
How about Maya Rock's response times? (I think this was said before) But anybody query her recently and by e-mail?
Querytracker.net has response times, and you can limit the data to the past 30 days. For all time she has a one week average response, and in the past month that hasn't changed. As for non-responses, that's running about about 12%, which is less than average. Her average acceptance rate is 10%--higher than average. Her submission response rate is also fast--2 weeks--and her positive responses to requested submissions is running about one in 12. This could be partials turning into fulls, though, and not necessarily offers of representation. So overall, the chance of a query turning into an offer is something less than .6%.

After almost three fascinating and productive years reacquainting myself with the world of publishing at Writers House, I am joining Russell and Volkening, Inc., as a (mostly) fiction and young adult/middle grade agent on Monday, November 16. Please feel free to email me at my new desk starting the 16th, at [email protected].
Back in the beginning of September, it took Maya Rock only a few hours to reply to my query with an R.
And to Rowan and anyone else who's waiting for Merrilee, I received a form R in the mail over the weekend. Good luck to everyone else!
Oh no! Josh has my FULL! Does that mean he's taking potential clients with him (do agents usually do that?), or should I worry about falling through the cracks on this one? I think I'm going to e-mail him....
Yes, Josh will be taking requested material with him.
Awesome! Thanks for letting me (all of us, actually) know about the requested materials!I've spoken to Josh, so it's first-hand knowledge.
Yay, bclement! Awesome!Got a full request from Steven Malk (!) within 20 minutes of initial equery I love fast responders
Yes, Josh will be taking requested material with him.
I would say you should paste it into the body... most agents will not open unsolicited attachments.Does he want the 5 pages in the body of the query or as an attachment? It doesn't say on his site.
