Their own website says that although there are to be no unsolicited submissions, queries should be sent with synopsis, return postage and 30 pages. This is did. I received a reply stating that they were no longer taking unsolicited submissions! Suggest they learn how to read. It seems they are not even taking queries. I wouldn't bother if I were you.

I sent an initial e.mail setting out what I had done and asking if they were interested and I received an odd reply to the effect that they were not interested in published authors or anyone unsolicited!.It seems to me therefore its a complete waste of time approaching this Agency who do not want to know published authors and who seem to feel you should be introduced to them by someone else! Who? Another Agent?

Received a polite, standard form rejection in just under eight weeks which is probably quite good time span. Am new to all this so I don`t know!

They did not, however, return my lovely folder which protected my MS and did not come cheap! We live and learn (grin). Postage and admin costs all round are endearing me very much to agents accepting email submissions.
