Literary Rambles says he's super fast to respond to queries, so I'm going to assume no response means pass.

Within 2 hrs of submitting a query for a NF PB received a request for a revise and resubmit. He provided helpful comments to shape the revision. After revision I resubmitted. 8 weeks later sent a follow-up and he replied within hours with positive feedback.

@mc1234
That is his definition of a query - a paragraph synopsis and a paragraph bio (in a letter format). From a workshop I attended once, he also loves a good comp line in there if you can pull it off. My final 'query' had three paragraphs in it - the synop (pitch) followed by the wordcount/comp/bio (BOOK is complete at WORDCOUNT and is written in vein of Title meets Title. I am blah blah blah). Since I had met him personally, I prefaced my query with one paragraph jogging his memory of the workshop I'd taken and what I'd been up to since.

Hope that helps :)

For submissions, he asks for a one paragraph synopsis and a one paragraph bio. Is this a replacement for the traditional query letter or in addition to it? Thanks.
