No clue what his preferences are, but I sent pages and got a FR, so I guess they couldn't have been too off-putting. When in doubt, I usually send pages.

I can't find anything either, plantsandanimals. I can see on his agency website they ask for a query letter, and then say to check each individual agent's Publishers Marketplace page for specifics, but he doesn't have one...

Thank you for your submission. After careful consideration, Mr. Malk does not feel your work is the right fit for him. I should not that his present list is such that he is very busy and taking on few new clients at this time.
We wish you the very best moving forward.

Kind regards,

Hannah Mann

Ultimately a rejection with a helpful, personal critique. Invited me to resubmit with a revision or to submit a new project. Professional, polite, and encouraging.

2/2/17 - very nice rejection. Liked the concept and the writing but didn't connect on all the elements 100%. He and his staff seem great.

I queried and received an request from an exclusive request (for a week) from his assistant just three hours later. They ultimately rejected me, but with thorough, encouraging, and helpful feedback. I will certainly query them again with future projects if nothing works out this go-round.
