Is Erik taking a break from answering queries? The timeline says he hasn't answered queries since Mid-Oct. 2019

Thanks, @bwchilds - I will do the same - maybe if others are too he'll be moved to act eventually.

@onelovegcy - I've had a full out with him since Nov. of last year and sent an e-mail last week (9-3-19) to the General Inquiries at the new agency to ask about what the status of manuscripts in transition might be. Nothing but radio silence so far. Probably going to CNR by the time the full reaches a year.

He's had my full since 15 Feb and I'm ready to nudge him, but not sure how to go about it as the new agency has a submission.form and his old contact method (at Red Sofa) was email. Has anyone in a similar situation tried this? Say, by using that "general inquiries" email address or something? I really like the direction he seems to be taking with the new agency and would like to get back and touch... to see if I'm still in the running. Any thoughts welcome.

Profile Update: Started a new agency: Headwater Literary. Formerly with Red Sofa Literary.

(Thanks PaigeTurner)

Laura Zats and Erik Hane have launched Headwater Literary Management, a new agency based in Minneapolis. Both were previously at Red Sofa Literary.

He and Laura Zats are leaving Red Sofa to start their own agency on 9/10/19 (from his Twitter feed). https://twitter.com/erikhane/status/1168903520617189377

Profile Update: No longer listed on the agency website.

(Thanks Julesq)

Patrick, this agent isn't listed on the agency site anymore?

Profile Update: Open to queries.

Update: Notified him off offer of rep on a different book in a genre he doesn't represent, so I pulled the manuscript he has from consideration.

Full request on 1/2/19. Nudged him 6 days ago but haven't heard back yet. 5 days ago he posted to twitter that he's closing to queries by the end of May and then reading fulls:

Hi friends. I'm going to close to queries at the end of this month. If you were thinking of pitching me, get it in before then! If I've got your manuscript, the reading is about to kick into high gear and you should hear from me soon.

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

Closed to queries 06/01/19-09/01/2019 per website.

Requested full manuscript in November 2018 but didn't respond to two nudges (February and May 2019). Marking closed. Seems unusual kn general, but not unusual for him.

EQ 11/9/18 (Requery Diplomatic Immunity)
ER 2/20/19 (Passed--not for him)

Congrats Alia!
