Profile Update: Closed to queries.

Hmm, you could ask on Twitter?

Does anyone know if she's currently open to queries? The agency website doesn't say she's closed, but Twitter does. I can't find the post that says when she closed though. Some of you queried fairly recently, so it's confusing. Thanks.

Full request within an hour! Glad I hit send this morning. Her response was warm and encouraging, and she was honest about how long it might take due to her backlog, which I appreciated.

She is quick, as people have noted. I sent an EQ on 3-3-22 and received a rejection the next day, but I did appreciate that it was a personalized note.

"Dear Andrew - This doesn't fit my list but thanks for thinking of me. Best of luck with your agent search. Joyce"

As of 3/4/22 she holds the record for the swiftest rejection I've ever received. My email window was still open when I received my form rejection. On to the next!

Less than 24-hour turnaround for a PB Bio with a very encouraging "champagne" rejection. "Dear xx - This is a great piece and I love to see xx in a biography. With that said, unfortunately, I have acquired all the non-fiction authors my list can hold right now, so this is a reluctant pass. I will tell you it's a great idea and well-executed so I am rooting for you to find the perfect agent to represent it. Best of luck!" That really took away the sting. In fact, I'm even feeling excited and uplifted right now!

Received a wonderful email rejection from her. She said I was doing my agent research well and was on the right track. Unfortunately, she already has a client with similar work but gave me a gold star! These rejections are so appreciated!!

Fastest rejection I've ever received. Same form letter as below.

ER: 9/20/21

I received the kindest rejection note from her. She shared that I had beautiful writing and that she remembered it from a past contest. She has too many lyrical picture book writers right now, but referred me to two of her colleagues. She's so lovely.
