Hi has anyone submitted to Philippa personally after not hearing back from the generic children's YA/submissions email? I can't see anywhwere in the guidelines if you can try to submit to different agents when getting a CNR/Rejection from Soho or if a pass from one is a pass from all.

Specialist in children's books and media. Her work ranges from picture books, middle grade fiction and commercial series to ground-breaking illustrated books and innovative non-fiction. She is looking for new and diverse talent. Philippa is open to submissions and says: 'In fiction, I am always looking for new and different voices and for exciting storytelling in both words and pictures – and always searching for those children’s books that will be the classics of the future. In factual, I'd like to see work that is both ground-breaking in its perspectives as well as entertaining and accessible for a children's audience.'

Queried 11th December 2019; full request 13th December, sent 15th December 2019. Nudged on 1st May 2020 with offer of rep, received polite step-aside 15 minutes later.

LAW is now The Soho Agency (although queries sent to old email addresses still seem to reach their destination). See https://thesohoagency.co.uk.
