Based on the fact that someone who queried after me has already gotten a response, I am going to close this one out.

ER- 8/13/2018 Form Letter from assistant /Agent seems too busy to do anything at the moment.

Thank you very much for sending your query to Jodi Reamer and thank you for your patience while she considered it. She regrets that her busy schedule does not allow for a personal response and she has asked me to respond on her behalf.

She appreciated the opportunity to see your material, but unfortunately, she is unable to offer you representation at this time. Due to the enormous number of submissions we receive here at Writers House, and an already crowded client list, we are forced to be extremely selective when considering new clients.

Please remember that this is only one opinion in a highly subjective business and another agency may feel differently. Good luck in finding representation, and thank you for thinking of Writers House.

Yours truly,


Alec Shane
Assistant to Jodi Reamer

Saw in an interview that she skips query letters and goes straight to the pages, although I’m sure your query has to make it past an assistant or two before it gets to her. She, of course, doesn’t need new clients from the slush pile, but it’s cool that she responds to queries. She came off as charming, confident, and competent in the interview.

I submitted my query on 2/16, and only just got an ER from her assistant on 4/23. So I'd give her awhile before CNRing.

Was surprised to find this was the agent representing Stephanie Meyer and Twilight (never read it, but who hasn't heard of it?). Submitted on 1/18/18 a military space opera 107K word count that I've been working on for 3 years. We'll see if this goes anywhere.
