Hello it’s Sept 1 which means sadly, I am closed for queries for the time being. I will post again when I reopen or participate in any pitches but tbh, there’s a lot of amazing stuff that came in this summer that I still need to work through getting responses to everyone first.

All of this is to say, that I know QueryManager gives a lot of stats and data to querying authors now and while it's useful information, don't spend too much time trying to decipher the data. Each agent tackles their query inbox differently.

Now that it's August 1st, friendly reminder that I will be closing to queries at the end of the month and I will remain CLOSED until next somewhere. So last call! Here's a quick #MSWL about some things I'd love to see more of this month #amquerying #amagenting

I've been open to queries since June 1 and just for some transparency here's what my QM looks like. I have received a total of 453 queries so far. In 2 weeks I have already exceeded the total # of queries rec'd for the MONTH of August last year. 😳 #amagenting

I do blame the media for not explaining what was perfectly obvious to all of us paying attention: that you could not have mass deportations the way Trump spoke of them consistent with order and due process.
