CSD - Thanks for the update. I used the email address on her QT page. Also, it seems her TBA page needs updating, as she states that "I’m also willing to consider fiction as long as it’s crime fiction or a mystery that involves a murder," which is why I queried her in the first place.

@sfcommuter - I just submitted a query and received a confirmation email that she received it. Maybe try again or check the address you sent to?

She responded within ten minutes:
Thank you for sending me your query. My list is currently very focused on nonfiction and so I’m not the best agent for you. Please consider querying one of my TBA colleagues instead. You can see who a potential fit for your work would be here.

A form, but a nice one.


"Thank you for letting me consider your project for possible representation. While there are aspects of your work that I admire, I’m sorry to say that it isn’t quite a fit for my list.

Please know that I’m so very grateful for the opportunity to consider your work and wish you nothing but the best in your search for representation!

Best wishes,

Victoria Cappello"
