The new version of QueryTracker (released on January 1, 2008) contains many new features and tools to help you find and research literary agents.
Some of the new features are:
Greatly expanded search tools for searching for agents, including geographic region, and more.
A system of user-definable "folders" so you can organize agents and queries.
A Query List page showing all of the agents you have queried, sorted however you want and contained in a tree structure with branches for each manuscript and folder.
Tracking has been expanded and broken into two categories; query letters and manuscript submissions, so now you can track all phases of your agent quest and view more detailed statistics about
each category.
An agent "Watch" feature which allows you to select agents and be notified if any user adds a comment for that agent or anything about the agent's profile changes.
Tons of content sensitive help, making it easier to use the system to its fullest potential.
Several "Quick Tours" which give an overview of how the site works.
Word-count reports showing each agent's reply history based on the word-count of the manuscript.
Genre reports showing each agent's reply history based on the genre of the manuscript. (This was previously only available to premium members but in QT2 standard members will have full access
to it.)
All of the above features, and more, are included as part of the free (standard) membership, the list of new features for premium members is even better, here are a few:
Even more detailed search capabilities.
Additional agent reports.
Personal statistics showing the statistics or your own queries and submissions, which you can breakdown by manuscript and folder, and view as easy-to-read pie charts.
The ability to customize reports by selecting your own date ranges so you can view data from any time frame.
The ability to create your own custom reports based on all the data collected by QT2. You define the criteria and the system will create and display the results for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will QueryTracker.net deliver my query to the agent?
A. No, it is up to each individual writer to actually send their query letters. If QueryTracker were to send the query for you, we could be mistaken for a "Query Blasting Service," and those types
of services are discouraged by agents. In fact, most agents will ignore any query which they determine came from a blasting service.
Q. Does QueryTracker.net list screenplay agents?
A. No, sorry. QueryTracker is exclusively for books.
Q. How can I add an agent to the QueryTracker database?
A. From the top menu, select "Literary Agents" and then "Add an Agent." We will review the agent as quickly as possible and, if the
agent is determined to be legitimate, he/she will be added to the database. It can typically take two to three days to verify an agent listing. You will be notified via email or online message
when the agent is listed, or if for some reason listing has been denied.
