Initial delight at signing with this agency evaporated after over a year of lacklustre support, tardy communication and an imposition of inappropriate politics on the work. Gordon was brusquely dismissive of my concerns. After a handful of submissions to publishers, threw in the towell. Poor agency. Failed their client.

Curt response ... replied a few hours after sending my query. Based on these comments, this isn't unusual. Memoir.

Please be aware:
My former agent worked at Fuse Literary. When she made the decision to leave agenting, Gordon and Laurie (the heads of the agency) informed her clients that the agency would not necessarily keep us on. We waited three weeks to hear back, with no communication about our work from the agency. Most of us were dropped with a copy-paste impersonal letter with no references. More information here: https://twitter.com/tajmccoywrites/status/1504573954333323265?s=20&t=MvJDBZlpAWxSziZ7YgikJA
