Don't want to kill any high hopes here, but I saw PJ on an agent panel at AWP this year and he said that of the roughly 700 manuscripts he gets each year in "slush" he has never taken a single one. He said everything he represents has come directly from client referrels or rarely, reading someone's piece in a lit journal and contacting them.

He sounds like he reads and offers feedback, but from the interview I heard him give, it doesn't seem like anyone from the "outside" has ever had luck breaking in with him.

SQ 12/16 lit fic
email 2/9 asking for full.

i see he asks for quite a few fulls, it seems, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. but i'm glad to see that he actually offers feedback w/ rejections. i'm getting frustrated with full requests that end up with no response or get a form R.

fingers crossed!

Got a rejection from PJ on my snail mail...apologizing for the wait time...still, pleasant enough and I DID get an answer

jj: I have the same problem. You can't even click on the books to get info. I think they don't want any submissions, otherwise why would they have such a website?
