He wrote this a while ago, but I found this blog post super helpful. I was wondering why he sometimes randomly responds to submissions and not others. I guess sometimes he just gets a burst of energy and feels like responding? He seems kind of unorthodox, but nice.

Very kind, personalized rejection letter stating that he had to pass due to the wide array of novels in this particular genre. Anyone who receives his representation is lucky.

He wrote such a kind & personalized note, saying he loved my novel but doesn't know enough editors in that space to be the best advocate.

Given that this agent asks for the full manuscript at the query stage, what does "Full Request" mean in Comments and Data Explorer?

Got a really nice personalized rejection after 40 days. I sincerely appreciate the feedback, and the complimentary email.

Question: should it make me nervous to submit my entire manuscript along with the query?

In terms of the unorthodox nature of it. He's the only agent I've come across who wants the entire MS up front.
