There has been some speculation that this agent is no longer active. I saw a notice in Publishers Weekly that Jennifer Wills brokered a deal for world rights to a YA novel set to be published spring 2024.

Q: 4/2/24
CNR: 6/12/24
Per their website: "If we do not respond with a request for additional material within three weeks, we have elected to pass." And based on the comments, this agent may not even be active anymore.

I'm not sure this agent is active anymore. There doesn't seem to be much going on anywhere. I'll see what I can find out.
I did notice that even though her website says to use QueryManager, if you click it, it actually brings up an email address.

@Patrick or admin: what is the purpose of sending them a query via query manager if they are not using it. Like its 106 days in no response from the agent. I literally followed up via their email provided just to get an automated message saying that if its pass three weeks they passed on the manuscript. This is beyond ridiculous. who should I hold accountable for unprofessionalism?

Hello and thank you for thinking of The Seymour Agency!
Your submission is important to us. Please know that every query is given extensive consideration. If we do not respond with a request for additional material within three weeks, we have elected to pass. This means that the material is not right for us at this time, but this is subjective, and another agent or editor may feel differently. Do NOT be discouraged. As with any partnership, it is important to find the best match.
If we have requested a full or partial of your manuscript, please follow up for a response after nine weeks. Bear in mind that oftentimes a project may receive multiple reads before a decision is reached.
In all of your endeavors, we wish you the best, and we thank you for the privilege to review your work.
Many thanks,
Jennifer
