New Agents!

• Susan Hawk has joined the The Bent agency. She's looking for young adult and middle grade books; nonfiction and literary fiction, as well as genre fiction like fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, and mystery. 
• Kathleen Ortiz of Lowenstein Associates is looking for chick lit and YA.
• Justine Wenger of the Emma Sweeney Agency is looking for literary fiction and short story collections.

New QT Features!


There are some exciting new features in QueryTracker.  For example, you can now copy a query list from one project to another (definitely  handy for folks who are querying more than one project in the same genre).  You can also cross reference projects -- if you've queried a particular agent before, you'll get a note showing which projects you queried with and what the results were.
