"I am out of the office until January 4th. I'll get back to you as soon as possible after my return."
- Received after a query sent in August. So is he out of the office for another 4 months or did he forget to turn it off last year?

Just wondering, it doesn't say on their website if they want pages or not. Does anyone know if they want a page sample?

Chose him because he represents Eula Biss and Lia Purpura. My novel is about a pregnant oncologist.

Given previous comment by spacerog, is he "out of the office until Jan 4th"? So does he have a huge pile of queries waiting for him?
