Agency has closed.

Nadia's letter also says that while she is not accepting submissions right now (so if you queried her, consider it rejected) that you can send your queries to any of the other agents at their new agencies if you have not already heard back from them...

Guess since I queried Nadia, that I will be sending my query out again to Michael Stearns.

Website says the agency is kaput.

Dear Publishing Community,

It is with great regret that I announce the closing of Firebrand Literary. I want to thank all of you for your support, encouragement and business over the past few years. It's been wonderful getting to know you, work with you and – most of all - read your work.


Well, I suppose this means I won't be hearing back from them.

Form reject in about 5 weeks.


Thank you for sharing your work with us. Unfortunately, it is not a good match for Firebrand and we will not be able to offer you representation.

I hope you excuse this form letter, but it is really only representative of our lack of time and not a lack of respect for your work. Please understand that there are many reasons why we must turn down potential clients. We look for material that immediately grabs our attentions and emotions, and that we believe will do well in the current publishing and bookselling market. But sometimes we even pass on well written, marketable projects simply because it is out of our realm of expertise and would be better represented by another agent with different taste or experience.

Thank you again for sharing your submission with us and we wish you the best of luck in your search for the right agent.

Sincerely,

Firebrand Literary
