ER 3/17/22, automated "list is full" response
ER: 7/22/21
Eric's Response:
Thanks for reaching out. Although this sounds like an intriguing premise, and you've got the right cinematic inspiration, my list is so full right now that I must pass, with regrets. By all means, keep searching out other agents, as another may well pounce. Whatever happens, best of luck!
Question: if his list is full, why isn't he closed to queries?
1.22.21 Sent full as an email attachment
3.25.21 Nudged by email and got a very pleasant reply ("you're still in the queue - don't hesitate to nudge again")
6.18.21 ER, with a very kind note

Queried at online agent fest Nov 20, 2020
No interest.
(I admitted it was a draft that wasn't workshopped or beta-read yet.)
Eric was easy to talk to, but really frank. He said a book that's just "fun" without "issues" is "a hard sell right now." I appreciated his honesty, as hard as it was to hear this. I'm going ahead with it, but with a better understanding of why it might not work out.
Pitched at online agent fest 11.20.20
Request for full MS, but "don't send until mid-January"
Eric seems like a straight shooter, doesn't hold back, whether criticism or praise.
