From Twitter June 1, 2018: "I am technically open to queries again, but I am still on medical leave, so responses are still going to be very delayed. Thanks for your patience as I heal."

Asked her if she'd like to see revised version of MS from agent feedback - she sent back a kind note that she'd love to see!

Wow, that tweet is scary. I won't be querying her.

Thanks horrorchix and whitegardenia. I just added her to my "do not query" list. Being a querying writer is hard enough without hearing the take-it-or-leave-it comments from an agent. Would you really want this person representing you? Not me!

@WhiteGardenia: that explains her snarkiness to me when I nudged her after 6 months on a partial (#DVpit spring 2017). She said it went to the back of the list. Then she “liked” my pitch in the fall DVPit. I told her she already had my partial but I edited the pages. I asked if I should send the new pages or wait and she replied as if I was bothering her.

.
This, from her Twitter feed:
"I don't read if I am in a shitty mood. I don't think it's fair to authors. With the state of the world, I'm almost always in a shitty mood. Writers who complain - would you rather I read when I'm pissed and don't care? Or do you want me to give your work a fair shot?"

And: "Y'all, my policy is don't follow up unless you have an offer or you'll get read later. If you don't like it, just don't query me?"

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

Thanks tdubphyz

Website says she is closed after March 1. I received a reply to a query today from vacationreply@lizadawsonassociates.com as follows:

I am closed to queries from March 1 to June 1, 2018. Any queries sent during this time will be deleted. Please resend after June 1. (If I request material during this time from a query sent prior to March 1, sending it to this address will reach me.)





If your message is not a query letter, please email me at CFlum@LizaDawson.com. However, any queries sent to that address will be deleted unread.





Thanks for your understanding and your patience. I look forward to your queries after June 1.

Auto-reply saying that she's closed to queries as of March 1, but it sort of implies that she's closed now. Anyone else get this auto-reply?
