@TimFall, the agents fully control the genres listed on their QueryManager forms. Since it is often much easier to change them there than it is to change their website, QM tends to be more up to date.

The genre list here at QT includes MG, as does her form at QM, but her page at the agency website says she is not looking for middle grade: "Soumeya is not looking for fantasy, science fiction, religious books, commercial romance, middle grade, young adult, or picture books."

Heads up that she is out of the office for the next month. I'm guessing query responses will be delayed.

Sub'd 86K upmarket, 1/30/25.
CNR's at 120 days. Lots of responses to people who came after me. Not sure what that means.
Then kind, personal rejection at 138 days.
