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.

A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
R: 3/8; "Thank you for sending your query about (title). It is good to hear from you again. Like with your previously submitted work, this project seems beautifully rendered and you have a very nice narrative voice.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'm a match for this project, as it falls outside what I am personally looking for at this time – but this is, of course, just me. Publishing is very subjective, and you deserve an unequivocally enthusiastic agent as your advocate. I may well be wrong, and you should definitely get other agents' opinions.
I thank you for the chance to consider your work, and I wish you success in finding it a home."
I had/have two stories querying at the same time after having written them out ages ago and not knowing anything about publishing and how it worked. Its nice to see they recalled the first one<3 I am taking a long break from querying while I work on a brand new story and I know I'll bring it to Lee whenever it is completed, however long that may be.
