Thanks everyone!

Thanks for another great spotlight. It's always interesting to read about the agents who are just starting out.

Charlie N. Holmberg said...

Always great to hear from a new agent!

But in her interview she says she reps science fiction, but then later it says she doesn't rep science fiction. Which is right?

Casey McCormick said...

Charlie,

She's no longer accepting sci-fi. She was considering it last year but has narrowed her interests a little.

Charlie N. Holmberg said...

Nice to know, thanks!

It's been a long time since I've looked at anything agenty, and this was really interesting. Thanks for taking to time to put this excellent profile together.

Victoria Lindstrom said...

Your blog is a great resource Casey - thanks!

Casey McCormick said...

Did I link the wrong one somewhere? Will find and fix, thank you!

Stina said...

Thanks for the spotlight. I queried her the other day . . . before I discovered her slow response time. Even for requests, you're looking at about a 3 month wait (according to QT data).

Lauren Ruth has disappeared from the BookEnds website. Is she no longer agenting?

Marcia said...

She's no longer agenting. She's now editing/publishing for Entangled.
