I went through the agency's website and it seems upfront enough. They do mention having an inhouse editing service, I don't know if they charge for the service.
They have recent sales and seem adept as placing work with publishers elsewhere on the continent.

They took my full manuscript about 3 years ago, read it within the time they said they would take, and passed on it.
Solidly respectable agency with a good record of sales.

They turned my first three chapters down very civilly.
Not a member of the Association of Authors' Agents, but lots aren't. If in doubt, only target those that are.

This was the first agent I sent by recently completed crime novel to.
Like Penguin Queen, my first 3 chapters got rejected quite civilly, and within a week of my sending them.

[Just curious: Is there really a "Mary Jones," or is this their creative attempt to avoid using the run-of-the-mill e-mail address "submissions@" for queries?]

There is already a thread for Gregory and Co, here which you have previously posted in.
The vast majority of AWers are US based, so you may not find anybody else here who is submitting to them.
From their Submissions page:
Did you do that?
Also, Mary Jones is listed on their staff page, so I imagine she's real.
If you've still no joy, try sending from a different email address (maybe even from a different host - if you're using gmail, try a yahoo one), or contact the general info(at) address. Automated systems mess up sometimes.

I submitted to them on a project about a year and a half ago.
While I didn't keep records of the email, my spreadsheet shows that I had an emailed rejection from Mary Jones three days after submission. I would have used the email address on their web site.

Yes, I followed their guidelines. Interesting suggestion about trying a different email address from a different host. I'll try sending from a gmail account this time and see what happens.
