Have people who queried via the agency address (as per agency guidelines, as opposed to the instructions on his PM page) received a response?
(I sent to that email, before realizing that his PM page had different instructions and I'm hoping I haven't scuddled my chances.)

The Agent's Publisher's marketplace says to send directly to him. The Inkwell Management says to send to "Submissions" with his name in the subject line. Did not know what to do. I sent directly to him. EQ - 6/12
