Does anyone have any recent personal experience with this agency?

She was evidently displaced from lower Manhattan by Hurricane Sandy and has relocated to the Midwest, all very recent of course.

Alice recently rejected my full, but with personal and encouraging remarks. A heartbreaker, but I would recommend her to anyone.

I queried Eva Scalzo on 1/3/2018.
She emailed and asked to see my full manuscript on 4/20/2018.
Now waiting for a reply to the full.

Anything about this agency's sales or how the agents are? I got a request from Eva during Pitmad but I've never heard of the agency before.

Alice once sent me an R&R, which really excited me, but then never responded when I sent the revision (despite nudges)... Still, the book ended up better for it, so I guess I can't be entirely sorry. What I really need to learn is to not get my hopes up, ever, in this industry.

I am considering having that tattooed on my chest.

The agency website has Eva and Alice both closed to unsolicited queries ATM. FWIW
