Her profile on their website says she specializes in kidlit, so her genre list needs to be updated.

"Thank you for considering The Rights Factory for your representation. This sounds AWESOME! But I’m very behind at the moment, so I’m cc’ing my colleague, Lindsay Legget, here for her interest instead!"

Queried via online form, but directed it towards all agents instead of specifying it was for her.

Rejected: 10/31/16 with a very nice requection "This is a really excellent query, I have to say, but I’m afraid my list is very full at the moment. It’s a pass this time. I’m looking for more magic realism than fantasy these days."
If anyone has any magical realism stories, send them!

Did not appreciate that spam email, especially because I'd already unsubscribed from their list after receiving a similar spammy email from Sam a few months back. It seems pretty audacious to send junk out like this to writers they couldn't even be bothered to form reject.

Galen_Marek, I received the same email. However, it did contain an email address different from the one listed on the website, in case anyone is interested in querying. See my comment below. Try alison@therightsfactory.com instead of ali@therightsfactory.com, as is listed on their website.

Requested a manuscript two years ago, never got back to me (not even after a nudge & offer of rep), and now I receive Spam email from her promoting a mentorship program that charges fees upward of $1200.00. Wow.
