Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.

Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).

Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.

And NEVER give money to an "agent".

Leave comments about your experiences with this literary agent, or read what other authors have to say.

At least she was quick about it. But I hate when they send form rejections on a full request. :(

Does anybody know if Miriam Goderich represents authors as a literary agent? I'm not seeing that she has any actual clients.

So Miriam Goderich rejected my full on 11/10/14. But then on 12/12/14, Mike Hoogland at Dystel favorited a PitchMAS tweet and requested the full on 1/20/15. Then, when I offered him a look at my revisions, he asked to see those. So I sent the revised mss to him on 3/14.

ER: 4/17 - After nice, personal back and forth with the agent, I end up with a (possibly slightly personalized) form letter. "We have to really fall in love with a novel before we will think about representing it and—although you are a fine writer—that just didn’t happen with this one."

I queried Jane Dystel. Jane said to send 50 pages. A week later or so I heard from Miriam, who's with the agency. She wanted the entire mss. I sent it a week later--today. She was nice to send a note to say thanks for sending.

I'm sorry, m_pepper. That's the same form I got on my full, too, if it helps. Spent hours trying to analyze it because...writer.
