Mentioned that they do not accept attachments. This was handy to know for submitting a picture book. He responded back personally with more information on submitting it to them and will accept a resubmission.

@lacygonzalezbrowne - my word count is only a little more than yours at 53,000...have you been getting feedback that yours is too short like I have?

Does he always give a confirmation he's received a query?

Does he generally not respond nowadays unless interested?

Dear Katie:
Thank you very much for thinking of Rising Bear—and congratulations on the offer!
I’m sorry to be so slow getting back to you. My apologies.
I think your story about Anne Bradstreet is very promising, and it’s very cool that she’s your great, great, great… grandmother. Although Pioneer of Poetry has so much going for it, I’m going to reluctantly pass on it. I sincerely hope that by now another agent has snatched your manuscript right up. In the unlikely event you’re still looking for representation somewhere down the road, I hope you’ll think of me again.
In the meantime, thanks again for giving me an opportunity to consider your work, and I wish you loads of success with Pioneer of Poetry!
My very best,
Rick

I really think the “confirmation” is just a super nice rejection. ???? I got one a week after querying.

He has the nicest confirmation email (simply saying that he's received my query) that I've ever seen. Must be a top notch fellow!
