@NaomisLitPix Omg. That’s like rejecting Chris Hemsworth for a first date... 🤪An author needs to feel like *I* am the right match for them as much as I do. When I lose one, it does hurt (VERY much so!), but I'm glad they are confident in the direction they've chosen. I want the best for them+book, even if that best is not me. #askagent #querystats

I am getting some inquiries as to why I'm a touch behind my #querystats goal of answering all q's w/in 6 weeks!
Rest assured I answer EVERY query in my querymanager.
I am currently working on queries from Oct.19th.
I got a query surge in Oct (YAY) But that's why I'm behind.

#querystats update (Still closed to new queries until after the new year!) #amagenting instagram.com/p/Bq8UnNpnKT-/…
Literary Agent
As an update to anyone waiting for me to read your query, I am working through queries from October 8th. I'm a little behind where I like to be, since it was a heavy query month. But that's where I am at, if you are waiting for me to read your query! #querystats

Of the full manuscripts I currently have two are contemporary mystery/suspense, one is women's fiction, one is memoir, one is a cozy mystery, and one is contemporary YA. Of the two I requested today one is psychological suspense and one is literary fiction. #querystats
Literary Agent
I have roughly 700 queries and six full manuscripts to read (not counting the two full manuscripts I requested today that haven't come in yet). #querystats
Literary Agent
#querystats I have 38 queries that require more investigation but I am hoping to have answers for those people this week.
Literary Agent
#querystats I have 25 queries, spanning from 10/9 to 8/23 that require a closer read. And 2 requested manuscripts.

It is nearly impossible to get blacklisted period, but especially because you query again. The worst that can happen is a “no” #quertipAgents want queries. We can’t get clients without them. A slow of empty inbox is depressing. #querystats

@TracyMarchini This really gives perspective to the querying writer! Can you share how many you signed from the 1380?I've signed 4 picture books authors or author-illos so far in 2018, but I can't really say how many from the 1,380 queries received over the last 365 days. This would look at a calendar year though for all #pb, #mg and #ya queries: tracymarchini.com/2018/01/02/my-… #querystats

@CalPLogan Impossible for me to calculate, but I will say the only reason I don't seriously read any query is if it CLEARLY doesn't meet the genres I rep, or blatantly racist, or is deliberately insulting.Otherwise I read and consider ALL queries seriously.
My response to a very important question about how many of my #querystats are projects agents would not consider seriously.
