I added this entire agency to my DO NOT QUERY list.
Submission Guidelines say, "By sending your materials to our agents, you’re agreeing to our Submission Terms & Conditions, so be sure to read them before you hit send."
"Submission Terms and Conditions" is a sternly and legalistically worded document.

Reading it, I didn't feel confident that I understood exactly all I was agreeing to, but I do feel it's not worth the trouble it would take to gain that confidence before I even hit send.
Struck me as arrogant and unnecessary to put an author through all this before one of their agents even shows an interest in the author's work, much less even bothers to read the query. The first thing on their pompous bullet list is---- "WME is not required to review your Materials, nor is WME required to take actions to keep them confidential."
Ugh. As the saying goes, they are not the only fish in the sea. QT list more than 1500 other agents.

ajmiz827, did you use ETHANQuery@WMEAgency.com? I emailed Ethan on 3/5/24 with no evident trouble (it didn't bounce). However, I didn't receive any confirmation of receipt, so...

WME e-mail address for this agent isn't working. Tried 3 times. Each time it was blocked.

Ethan, Howard Yoon and Gail Ross are all new additions to WME and none of their email addresses are active. I sent test emails and all 3 bounced.
