moblitas... I know this thread is from forever ago, but if you place your fingers like your gonna type, move them over a key to the right each, then type "white" without looking, it indeed becomes "wjote." Lol, I figured that was it because I do that sometimes. :)

Rachellieberman, the information I received was that he is "semi-retired" and not taking new clients.

Can someone confirm that he's still closed to queries? I didn't see anything about it on the website but since QT generally seems up-to-date I don't want to annoy him by querying if he's not accepting.

Angelscribe,

Jessica, he's only closed to queries right now. Patrick needs to confirm it. Maybe someone else from the agency replied to your query. Did you get a rejection or a request?

I queried Mr. Reiss in 10/13 and got a reply on 10/14.
The Website doesn't indicate he retired, so I'm confused.

I laughed a little at this one because he (or his intern) misspelled the "white" in the title of my book as "wjote." Everyone makes spelling errors of course, but I thought this one was a little bizarre.
