SMQ: 11/20/2017 86k Hist Fic
SMR: 06/15/2018 form rejection letter

Maybe she like it some or maybe she forgot it.

11/13/2017 sent postal query with SASE
4/10/2018 CNR. No response after 5 months even with postage paid, though website says response time is 2-3 months. Maybe she's just swamped but I'm closing this one out.

SUBMISSIONS FROM AUTHORS:


Spectrum's policy is to read only book-length manuscripts that we have specifically asked to see. Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted.

Anyone interested in representation must send a query letter* with a return stamped (not metered ), self-addressed envelope to:

Justin Bell or Eleanor Wood
Spectrum Literary Agency
320 Central Park West Suite 1-D
New York, NY 10025

Letters sent without SASE will not be answered. The letter should describe your book briefly and include publishing credits and background information or qualifications relating to your work, and the first 10 pages of your work. Our response time is generally 2-3 months.

* Spectrum will not accept/respond to queries that arrive by fax, e-mail, or telephone. All queries MUST be sent through the mail.

Profile Update: Open to queries.

ladyhoffman: I think that's just for Justin Bell. It also says: "Eleanor Wood is not accepting unsolicited manuscripts at this time, except by referral."

Patrick: When I checked out their website, I saw that they don't accept unsolicited manuscripts, but they do have instructions for queries by snail mail. They want a description of the book, background info, and the first ten pages.

Profile update: closed to queries.

Sorry it took me so long to put this one in. I was working 60 hours for the holidays. I don't remember the exact date, but it was around that week.

The website says she is only looking at manuscripts by referral.

Snail Mail Query 2/26
Snail Mail Rejection 6/10

Looks like a photocopy.

Subb'ed snail mail query in October 2011. Recieved form response 6 months later: "Unfortunately, I was not sufficiently enthusiastic to feel I'd be the right agent for your work. In addition, I'm taking on very few new clients..."

SQ: 1/3/12
SR: 4/7/12

After three months, I thought my query may have been lost, but alas, no.
