One of the best in the business. He will be missed as an agent but we wait in anticipation for his book :)
He was a good friend to writers and will be missed. Good luck to him.

ER: 11/5/10--Thank you for your note. I am no longer an agent with Curtis Brown Ltd. and will now be working in the tech industry. If you'd like to submit to another agent at Curtis Brown Ltd., please visit our website for a list of agents and our submission guidelines:
Everything else is just background noise if you ask me. I don't care if he rejects me. This guy's on his game. He can perform a service we all want- he can get you published. But never forget you are basically hiring an agent to represent you to a publisher. So, even if they like it, if you don't like them when you get to the talking stage, pass.

I don't query Mr. Bransford becaus I long ago figured out that he wouldnt be a good fit for my work. But he is still a very professional agent and one who should be respected for his ability to turn around queries in a manner that doesn't leave the rest of us woolgathering.
My second submission to Nathan also received a full request. He also ended up passing on this work. His rejection is still one of my most encouraging moments as a writer. He was not only professional in his rejection, but also gave me the courage to keep at it.
i am almost done with my third manuscript, and I will query him again. writing is tough, getting an agent and selling your work can be be a bitch. But to blame someone for not liking your work, not pretending to be passionate about something (1/2
