She does accept email and form queries! I withdrew my email query so I could formally query her through the form but she emailed me back saying she accepts both!

Rejection received: January 11th, by 10 a.m.

I used Query Manager and the response time is much quicker (like, within hours), at least right now. Do use Query Manager to submit to speed things up. Best of luck

"Thank you for giving the Darley Anderson Children’s Book Agency a chance to consider your work.
Unfortunately this is not right for us. We are replying as soon as possible to give you the best chance of finding the right agent. We specialise in commercial fiction and illustration tailor made for the mass market and therefore we have to be confident of substantial sales quantities before taking on a new project.

We receive over 300 submissions a week and can only take on a handful of new writers and illustrators every year. The result is that we have to be incredibly selective, so please do not be too disheartened. Another agent may well feel differently.

We wish you the very best of luck in the future.

Submitted MG fantasy Feb 2020 - rejection from Chloe Davis said it was not right for them, followed by a lot of stuff about how they only represent very commercial books that they are confident will make a lot of money.
