mckeon04, yes, ALFFagan is correct. In your auto-reply there's a link to the query status page. Click on it and then at the top of the query status page there's a contact button that lets you send a short message. One option when you click on it is to let them know you have an offer of publication. If they send you an auto-reply incorrectly congratulating you on getting an agent, click on the other button to go directly to the publisher.

@mckeon04, since they use QueryManager, you should be able to click "Check Your Query Status" on the auto-reply that you received when you queried them. From there, you might be able to send a message.

Does anyone know how to inform Crooked Lane of an offer of publication from another publisher? I don't see a link in Query Tracker and I can't find a good email address on their website.
