Ben is absolutely incredible. He really understands my novel, is extremely speedy with his responses to me, and is encouraging while also knowing his stuff and able to be very business-oriented. The Handspun team works together very closely, so I wouldn't hesitate to query an agent who may have less experience. They're extremely collaborative and supportive (I even spoke to Courtney during an impromptu second call when I was asking some additional questions). Truly, I could not be happier. Best of luck, everyone. It took me two manuscripts, two years, and over 260 rejections. Keep going <3
