Text from my agent page on the ALA website that reads: “please don’t send me: picture books, chapter books, or graphic novels; historical fiction set during WWII; books over 100K words; commercial fiction…”

Querying Writers: please note that on my anti-mswl I say to not send me books over 100K words

Screenshot of the agent end of query manager. It shows four boxes in the left hand column and two in the right hand column. In the left hand it says 0 unread queries, 63 read but undecided queries, 0 unread submissions, 20 undecided submissions. In the right hand side, the top box says 97% query response rate and the bottom box says 78.9% submission response rate.

For full transparency here is where my box currently sits before my regular monthly opening tomorrow. I am still behind on submissions and trying very hard to keep on top of queries. Depending on what May holds, I may stay closed for June to catch up and get responses to as many people as possible!
