Disclaimer
Always verify agent's information before sending your query, and review the agent's website(s) for more up-to-date information.
Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.
Before contacting an agent, authors should verify and assess the agent's requirements and suitability by visiting the agent's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad agents. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
Effective immediately, the agency is closed to new submissions through at least the end of 2022; please direct your queries elsewhere.
On March 11th I sent in a query, the site didn't seem like it was closed to submissions.
If by any chance they contact me, I'll Edit this but until then... I assume I won't be hearing from them.

Something uplifting to hear if you're feeling low: Go ahead and live with your head held high. No matter how devastated you may be by your own weakness or uselessness, set your heart ablaze. Grit your teeth and look straight ahead. -Kyojuro Rengoku
Edit:
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to review your query. By design, my client list is small and comfortably full, and I am taking on very few new writers; after careful consideration, your material doesn’t sound quite right for me, nor I for it.
I wish you the best of luck in finding representation elsewhere.
Yours,
Jack Byrne

My thoughts: To be fair, I didn't send a chapter/chapters and my query letter was still very small. I had just started building my query letter, so it was a bit lacking. I am still trying to make it better, being that it's my first time.
Nevertheless; as he states, he is comfortable and in my mind... If you're comfortable, why would you take on a writer as green as I?
I appreciate the email; I was just going to assume he was not going to email me back.
Good luck all!
and
N.P. Patrick :)
