Full Circle Literary Agency

So these folks don't represent fantasy I see. Any kind of fantasy? Would they be open to urban fantasy/paranormal?

Ah... thanks Sage.

Roly - Mine is multi-cultural but could also fall gently into the urban fantasy camp. I don't fit neatly into any genre but still decided to query. If you think you have a good story to tell and it could possibly cross genres, then I would say go for it!

Can anyone here who sent a partial please say how they did so? Via e-mail attachment, snail or right there in the body of the e-mail?
Thanks!

They sound interesting so I shot them a query with the first ten pages embedded.

I did that as well. I'm just curious about a larger amount of pages. Would you embed 50? It seems they may not be comfortable with attachments...

Well, they just ask for 10 in the original query. I wouldn't push it but others have asked for up to 50.

They did reply to my query & first 10 with a request for 50 without mentioning how to send. I just checked their webpage and they are "green" so snail is not a factor. Like I said, just thinking I don't want the e-mail to be too bulky! Hmmm...

50 pages embedded is about 200K, a manageable size for email. If in doubt, embed. I've had agents ask for it that way.

My goodness! Okay - I guess it's a judgment call, huh? Have to toss it around a bit before I hit send! Thanks for the help, guys. Appreciate the feedback!

... no response = NO!!!

At least that was my experience on a partial 2 years back, and then on a query just recently.

Way to go, Sage! I only sent my partial about a week or so ago, so I guess I'll have to wait it out a bit longer. Congrats and keep us posted!!

Anyone still waiting on partials for longer than 6 weeks? Just wondering if (hoping) I'm still in the running.

That's awesome Sage!
I just sent a query to her.

They appear to have a new agent, Sara Sciuto.

"Sara is actively building her list with a focus on middle grade and young adult, in particular dystopian, science fiction, urban fantasy, and paranormal."

If you're querying those genres she might be worth a shot. I just queried her, I'll let you all know how it turns out.

I'll be hosting an interactive interview with Ms. Sciuto tomorrow, June 22, on my blog. If you have a question for her, feel free to hop on over and ask it!

(I won't be back to post a direct link tomorrow, as I have limited Internet access at the moment, but the interactive part will run from 10:00 a.m. EDT to 8:00 p.m. EDT tomorrow.)

I queried Adriana Dominguez on March 13. She (well, the agency) requested a full 5 days later, which I sent immediately. I haven't heard a peep since. I sent a status query last Monday (3 months from the original query) but still haven't heard back. I understand that no response = no, but that's not true on requested material, is it?

EQ'd Sara Sciuto today. Will keep all of you posted. Best of luck to those who are waiting on responses to partials and fulls!

Seems their policy on responding to queries might have changed - I received a polite rejection a couple days ago, even though they say they only respond if interested.

Are they a no from one is a no from all agency?

Not so sure all agents have changed. I queried A.D. over 2 months ago and she never responded.

Queried Sara last week, got a request for a partial (50 pages) today
