Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.

Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).

Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.

And NEVER give money to an "agent".

Leave comments about your experiences with this literary agent, or read what other authors have to say.

Well, just got a full request from her on a query I sent on 5/3, so I guess she doesn't ALWAYS respond quickly when she's interested. It seems like it got lost in her inbox or something.

Has anyone heard from her lately? I sent a #DVpit request at the beginning of May and never heard back. Then I sent a follow up a week or so ago. Her timeline makes it look like she hasn't responded to anyone since late April...

Lauren Abramo, is yet another agent I cannot recommend ENOUGH for writers, especially debut writers! She has a big role with the Dystel and Goderich Literary Management, yet is always quick to respond and quick to pick apart your manuscript to make it better, of course very respectfully. I've only queried her twice, with two separate novels. One an instant rejection. The other is a manuscript (an LGBT YA, Dual P. O.V.) and she's currently reading through the full manuscript. Perhaps I'll hear an offer of rep soon, or if not, I'd still recommend her for her quick turn around with replies, especially through pitch contests! She is a champion of YA and a great fit for debut authors.

She wrote a lovely note and invited me to submit future projects. Took the sting off a bit. :)
