I used AI to help me develop my query package because I'm a first time manuscript author and have never queried agents. She does not accept queries that sought assistance from an AI platform.

@Jeninpr Note that their QM does not ask for pages. Just the query letter. That's what I think it means otherwise, their QM would be closed.
