Does anyone know if Brenna is still with the agency? I don't see her name on the website, but she requested my full a few months ago. I don't want to nudge her as it's only been 2 months, but at the same time, if she's no longer with them I'd be keen to try querying this agency again. Thanks!

His rejection was personal and complimentary. The first part discussed what he liked about the book and how he parsed it out with regards to tone and sub genre. He then mentioned how difficult the historical market is (which is what I hear from agents ALL THE TIME). How does anyone who writes HF ever get published? But I digress . . .

The second part of his email said this: It is rare for me not to offer to represent a book submitted to me that I actually finish. (Lucky me! Not!) And, candidly, I really enjoyed it. But I don’t have a sense of how to position this best for the market and don’t think I’d be the right agent for it. If you end up not placing the book, I’d be happy to look at future projects. In any event, I wish you the best.

Even though it was a rejection in the end, I think he is a class act and anyone who manages to be represented by him is quite lucky!

Wishing everyone the best!

I received an R&R last May for a different novel, and queried for my current one in a different genre a few days ago, mentioning of course that I want to work with someone who handles both genres. (I only just started the R&R on the first one.) Brenna (Paul's assistant) requested a full this morning.

So it seems like Ms. English-Loeb is his assistant. She favorited a tweet of mine from #DVpit and requested that I send it via Janklow's submission email, but to mark it as being for her. Interested to see how this goes, since she's not a full agent. Maybe they're letting her take on some clients, or maybe she was scouting for Mr. Lucas?

I guess I'll mark my progress here.
