@morningstar21 that is not correct about this agency having a “pass from one is a pass from all” policy. Below I have pasted the pertinent sentence from the submissions page on the Root website:

(If you have queried an agent directly rather than the agency-at-large, this means you are also free to submit to another agent at Root Literary once the stated consideration window has passed.)
