The submission methods on this agent's entry are incorrect - he does not accept postal submissions and prefers emails to his assistant.

Originally queried back in November 2020, but I hit bad luck with out of office replies. Followed up 2021/03/09 with assistant Kate, and decided to withdraw the original submission and send revised material.

Form rejection: "...he doesn’t feel that he could successfully represent it for you, and so won’t ask to see the rest of the typescript. He is taking on so few new clients at the moment, he needs to feel completely committed to a project in order to take it further.
