Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.
Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).
Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.
And NEVER give money to an "agent".

8/10 - A form letter in huge point bold print that begins 'Dear Writer' goes a long way in toughening one's skin.

Danielle is a true gem. She is by far one of the sweetest agents I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, and I cannot recommend her enough. Seriously. Query her.
ER 8/3/16
Good to know you can still get a "Dear Writer" form rejection 147 days after you sent you query...
