Grace Milusich now has her own QT listing.

Is this where we put Grace Milusich queries? From what I understand, she has her own QM page and can take her own queries, but can only offer representation "jointly" with Natalie.

Dear Jennifer Kathleen,
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to read your submission.
Unfortunately, after careful review, I have decided to pass on this project. This industry is incredibly subjective, and there are many agencies out there with many different tastes. It is for this reason that I strongly encourage you to keep submitting elsewhere, in the hopes of finding an agent who will be an enthusiastic champion for you and your work.
I wish you all the very best of luck and success with your writing.
Sincerely,
Natalie Lakosil

@keepthefaith, on Natalie's website (https://www.adventuresinagentland.com/about.html), she considers children's literature to include all ages--PB through YA. I submitted my YA novel as Childrens Fiction on her QueryManager form.

keepthefaith, the agents have full and immediate control over what genres are available on their QueryManager forms, so if YA is not listed then she is not currently seeking it.

There's no option to submit a YA fiction query on her Query Manager, yet her MSWL asks for this genre - any advice?
