Thank you so much for sending in your manuscript, as well as for your time and patience.

Although your manuscript was intriguing, we do not believe it is the right fit for our agency. We are unfortunately unable to offer representation at this time. I want to thank you once again for allowing me to read your work. We wish you the best of luck in all of your creative pursuits and appreciate your time and patience in our reviewing process.

I've been getting "dangerous web site blocked" on my computer every time I click on their form or website address. Finally I sent a query via snail mail and it came back "return to sender, unable to forward." Will probably give up on this one.

Hi neiltylerfloyd, They are open to queries and now using an online form exclusively instead of email. So query away and good luck.

Heads up: Mr. Hibbert's AgentQuery page says he is closed for queries.

Form letter sent to me saying they weren't looking for middle age, young adult or picture books anymore.

Form rejection for my 70K YA manuscript.
