For anyone thinking of querying this agent, I queried her in January and she got back to me with a kind full request today, 2/1. She's now with WME.

Her manuscript wishlist says these are her submission guidelines since the WME website doesn't list anything:

"Please e-mail your query letter along with the first 10 pages of your work in the body of an email to Areuben@wmeagency.com"

Thanks kathleea. Unfortunately, the WME website has never been very informative, so it may take time for her full info to surface.

Impossible to query- emails keep bouncing back. Five attempts from multiple email addresses.

Alyssa, if you ever see this. PLEASE set up Querymanager!

Duotrope does not list her as an agent; they have DNQ noted for Paradigm Agency and the one other agent they list

I've tried to submit a query to her and to the general submissions email at Paradigm but have gotten my email bounced back. No attachments. Anyone know why this might be?

@wordgirl251 I just copy-pasted the "books" email and wrote "ATTN: Alyssa Reuben," no error message.

I have tried to send queries to both Alyssa and Katelyn and the generic "books" email address. All three have been rejected by a mailer-daemon. Has anyone sent a successful query to this agency? I'm not doing anything strange with the email either and this is the only time this has ever happened. I'm not sending any attachments ... nothing like that. It's really odd!

This is what the technical error says:
