Since the Salkind Agency has expanded, the agents here are running into a situation where some authors are querying all of us at once. This creates a problem, as we share queries with one another anyway, and we don’t like to spend time considering the same work someone else at the agency is considering. As you can imagine, our inboxes are full enough as it is!
For this reason, we’ve developed a new policy: we request that authors query only one of us at a time. Note that we’re not saying you can’t query agents at other agencies simultaneously to querying one of us. We’re just saying that you need to query agents at the Salkind Agency one at a time.
In general, if any of us gets a query that isn’t quite right for us but could be right for someone else at the agency, we will pass it along. However, if that doesn’t happen, and you receive a rejection from one of us, you’re free to query someone else here anyway. But please don’t query all of us — or more than one of us — at a time. We all respond very quickly to queries, so you will have an answer quickly.
Thank you!
