Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.

Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).

Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.

And NEVER give money to an "agent".

Query Guidelines

To query, email Amy with query, first five pages, and 1-2 page synopsis pasted into the body of the email.

Leave comments about your experiences with this literary agent, or read what other authors have to say.

To be honest, I'm kind of relieved about this one. I realized after I queried that this agent and I wouldn't be a good fit at all and didn't know what I'd do if she requested (because who can turn down a request?).

When did you send in your queries, DSands, ToneMilazzo?

Dear Author,

Thank you for your query and for letting me have a look at your work.
I apologize for the impersonal nature of this email but I receive so
many queries that it makes it impossible for me to respond personally
to each one. Thank you for your patience.

Unfortunately, I don’t feel that this is right for me, so I’m passing.
Just because I wasn’t quite drawn in, however, doesn’t mean there
isn’t another agent out there who will love it. I encourage you to
continue to submit elsewhere.

Thanks again for thinking of me, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Amy

I think I wound up on her Query Lunch tweets. It echoes much of my fears and feedback.

I queried Amy back in November and received an automatic "I got your query and will read it soon" response. Nothing since. Is it appropriate to nudge her, since her policy seems to be to answer everyone? Or should I simply assume a rejection? I'm concerned my query may have gotten lost in the holiday mess.
