This agent replied within 24 hours. I don't if that's an exception, but it's certainly ex-ceptional!

echoing @tharvey -- in my experience, BookEnds has been very open about authors querying other agents once you receive a rejection. Haven't heard about a change in that policy, either.

You can. I believe it used to say so but guess they forgot that note when they updated the site.

Here's a quote from an old rejection from James - "You can also query any of my colleagues that may be a fit, if you wish."
(His new version doesn't include this line, but I don' t think the policy has changed)

Anyone know about querying more than one agent at this agency? There's no mention of it anywhere.

"Thank you for thinking of me and BookEnds on your search for an agent. I'm sorry to say that after careful consideration of your work, I've decided I'm not the best fit at this time. Please note that mine is only one opinion in a very subjective industry.
I wish you the best of luck on your publishing journey."
