I snail queried BG in March before the new agent news broke. Just got a positive response from Beth asking to see more. Will keep everyone posted on how the timing works out.
I am trying to hope in a calm, pragmatic way. Ha!

Congrats! Did she email you the request or did it come back from your SASE? I heard BG used to do it that way sometimes.
I totally did a happy dance. Naturally.
I got an email. I think that they've switched totally to email now?
Well, I just got a rejection from the snail mail query I sent a few months ago, so it seems they did get it. Now, I just have to wait for the rejection from the email I sent to Joe Monti-lol.
Hi folks,
I'm considering querying this agency for a YA-fantasy. Their submission guidelines say send: "query letter, synopsis of the book and first 5 pages of the manuscript" all embedded in the e-mail. Are people sending a real, 2-3 page synopsis? I'm wondering if I can interpret synopsis (optomistically) as the paragraph or so summary in my letter. I have a synopsis but ugh, it ain't no great shakes.

Same here. If submission guidelines actually list a synopsis as part of the required package, I include a separate one (mine is about two, double-spaced pages), in addition to the two-paragraph overview in the query letter. I figure if they ask for the synopsis, they want to know how the story ends (which isn't usually part of the query letter).I don't know what other people do, but when they say synopsis, I send the full one (which, for me, was harder to write than the darned book!)....I have a "short" 2 paragraph synopsis in the query letter (such as you would see on a bookcover).
Works for me, I have several full and partials out there.
