I've tried to query a 99K book a few times but the query doesn't submit because my word count is over 90K, which I'm assuming is a limit put in place by the agent. Yet I see multiple books queried to this agent in the past 30 days that exceed 90K. Are people fibbing about word count on the form? (Which I'm not going to do.) Is it genre-specific...are they selecting a different genre despite what they have entered for their own project data? (If I did it, it would be a misrepresentation of the book, so I won't.) I'm confused how those queries are going through. Maybe it's a very recent change?

There's a comment further down here from March that the agency don't take manuscripts over 120K. I don't see anything on the agency website at all (either the 90K limit or 120k).
