Does anyone have information about Cascade Literary Agency (Jewelann Cone)? I queried today, at the suggestion of a friend who had done prior query rounds in the paranormal genre. The agent was listed as having made a sale in the genre on January 26, 2012. My query turned into a full request within 3 hours!
I should have done more extensive research on what publishers the agency sales were to, rather than just basing it on sales in general and the suggestion of a friend, but hindsight and all that. After more thorough research, the author and sales list on the agency's site mostly reflects erotica publishers that don't need an agent (Like Loose ID, but I saw some from TOR Romance, too) and nothing really in the non-erotic market. I'm not sure if she's just getting into the non-erotic market and that's why her client list isn't reflective of the genre or not. Just wondering if anyone knows more about Ms. Cone and Cascade.
The full request doesn't mean it will lead anywhere, but I like to be prepared. I've got emails in to a few of her clients to try and get a feel of the agency and the agent/client relationship, too, but the more information I can gather, the better.
