Has anyone queried and received a response from her lately? I queried her on May 3rd.

I feel like something must be done about the way in which online forms butcher my formatting- all the cursive, bold, line breaks... just gone. *insert tears*

@wordgirl251--No, I didn't receive notification that the query went through. In the past, she only notified me when she wanted to make a request.

@juliabean - Did you get any kind of receipt or notification that your query went through?

On the children’s side of her list, she represents young adult and middle grade fiction, and the occasional picture book. On the adult side, she is eager to represent more upmarket commercial fiction and narrative nonfiction. Elizabeth’s current submission wish list includes high-concept young adult novels, especially from underrepresented voices, accessible middle grade novels that will foster a love of reading (think: fun, funny, or both!), young adult romance, high-concept adult love stories similar to One Day by David Nicholls, and any upmarket commercial fiction with a witty voice and eye for detail.

Sorry reemkhaleel97. That information was outdated, from before she switched to a form. I have removed it.

Are people submitting to Elizabeth from the form on the Sterling Lord Literistic website or the instructions here that say: "Query letter + first ten pages of manuscript in the body of the email"? I only realized she has two sets of instructions after submitting the form.

No automatic email to acknowledge receipt of submission, and after the form on the website was (supposedly) submitted, the following message appears:
Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. is highly selective in offering representation to writers. We receive an extraordinarily large number of unsolicited submissions and can only seriously consider those with merit. Please submit to us via email by completing the form below. We regret that due to the volume of submissions we receive, we can only respond to queries if we are interested in seeing more material.

So...no clue if she got my submission. How annoying!
