Closed to Queries for 2026

I have gotten several questions about when I’ll be opening to queries since I typically start opening on June 1 and remain open through the end of the summer. Unfortunately, I will not be opening t…

Hello it’s Sept 1 which means sadly, I am closed for queries for the time being. I will post again when I reopen or participate in any pitches but tbh, there’s a lot of amazing stuff that came in this summer that I still need to work through getting responses to everyone first.

On Saturday, about 5,000 people gathered at the Capitol in Austin to protest President Donald Trump and the Texas Legislature’s plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to give Republicans more seats in the U.S. House. via @kutnews.bsky.social

All of this is to say, that I know QueryManager gives a lot of stats and data to querying authors now and while it's useful information, don't spend too much time trying to decipher the data. Each agent tackles their query inbox differently.

Now that it's August 1st, friendly reminder that I will be closing to queries at the end of the month and I will remain CLOSED until next somewhere. So last call! Here's a quick #MSWL about some things I'd love to see more of this month #amquerying #amagenting

I've been open to queries since June 1 and just for some transparency here's what my QM looks like. I have received a total of 453 queries so far. In 2 weeks I have already exceeded the total # of queries rec'd for the MONTH of August last year. 😳 #amagenting

I do blame the media for not explaining what was perfectly obvious to all of us paying attention: that you could not have mass deportations the way Trump spoke of them consistent with order and due process.

Wow I’ve only been open a day and already have 100+ queries! Thanks to all who have submitted and I want to especially call for more #nonfiction projects since I haven’t seen anything in that category yet! #amquerying #NF

I’m officially open to queries today! My full MSWL and QueryManager link can be found on our agency website. Can’t wait to see you in the query box! 📚 awfulagent.com/agents/chris...

Hello! I am now officially open to queries again on QueryManager. I have my very detailed MSWL for fic and non fic here susanvcolmant.com

I would like to know why this time of day during the week my cat would be begging for attention and causing a ruckus but here we are on a Saturday and he’s sound asleep and totally disinterested in me????

Wow my query announcement put me over the 200 follower count! In honor of that milestone, I’ll do a #askmeanything re: agenting, querying, etc. tonight. I’m catching up on reading rn but I’ll check in throughout the evening. Ask away! #amagenting #amquerying

Yes, it is true! I will be reopening to submissions this summer starting June 1st! Looking forward to seeing what comes in the query box #amagenting #amquerying
