Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.
Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).
Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.
And NEVER give money to an "agent".

ER 4/2 from assist Tanya Turek:
After careful consideration, Mr. Malk didn’t feel that your project was the right fit for him at this time. I should add that he’s not actively seeking new clients, so that played a large part in his thinking.

Nice rejection from his assistant. So nice I can't tell if it's a form. She said that Mr. Malk isn't taking new clients, oops!

2/8/13: Steve and I talked on the phone last night and he let me know that while my MS is 100% where we both wanted it to be, he's unable at this moment to give me the time I'll need, to take me on. He's offered to pass my MS along to 4 other agents in the NYC Writers House office and I should know by the end of next week if any of them are interested.
So after 20 long months, my journey with Steve ends - however, who knows what other doors will open? I'm extremely grateful for the substantial shift my MS took over the time I worked with him (I scrapped over 50,000 words, and rewrote 63,000 new), and I'm only sorry he's too busy, to take me on.
Best of luck to all of you querying him. He's a top-notch agent that anyone would be lucky to snag!
