Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.

Many thanks for sending us your submission. I’m afraid to say, however, that it won’t be a project we’ll be pursuing. Unfortunately owing to time constraints, and the number of submissions we receive, we're unable to provide individual feedback.
Our business is subjective by nature and another agency may well feel differently – we wish you all the best with your writing.
