As user below me stated, yes I do think it's odd they list no clients, which tells me he has none.

Does anybody else find it odd that this agency doesn't have any listing on their clients/authors or on any books that they've sold? Not even an author's section on their website? Are they a new agency? Are they not proud of their clients? Sure they post newest releases on BlueSky but that's it??? So much emphasis on ethics and such (which is great!) but their website is just soooo vague about literally everything else. Just a lot of blah blah blah but hardly any focus on the clients that they work for, which is the point of an agency. It's just strange and makes me leery about querying them.

Received a full request, sent same day.

It doesn't seem like he's responded to any fulls requested within the past year. BUT he does seem to be responding to mid 2024 queries that are over 400 days old as of a couple weeks ago and does seem to get to them all eventually. So I guess if you get a full, realistically expect to receive a reply over a year later.

Personally, I'm through querying this agent. Plenty of time to post to Bluesky but simply doesn't hold the writers he REQUESTS FULL MANUSCRIPTS FROM in very high regard or any regard at all. Highly unprofessional.
