QueryManager query: 02/17/23, 160K literary fiction. *Because this agent's query form doesn't include any space for sample chapters, I just pasted my first three chapters at the end of my query letter. He must have thought that was okay, because ☟

Took about a month to get a quick, simple, rejection. It should be noted he does NOT ask to see sample writing, so take for that what you will.

Query form doesn't have a window for sample manuscript. Not sure if this is an error, but it seems like an odd choice to choose a project without seeing what the writing looks like.

laotze, the genres listed come from his QueryManager form, which he selects directly and so tends to be more accurate than agencies websites which are more difficult to update.

Yes, but maybe you'd do all right to query him if it's SFF about sad people in cold places.
