Nathan Bransford is one of the kindest, classiest people in this business, in my opinion.
Queried Ms. LaPolla 11/3
Partial request received 11/9
YA science fiction
I'll update when I hear back from her either way...
Just saw in QueryTracker that Sarah LaPolla signed up another new client 11/17. Who's the lucky writer we can congratulate and envy?

Unfortunately the R came yesterday, but she had some very nice things to say about my concept. The sequel of my novel is more geared toward the audience she was hoping for, so when I asked if she'd be interested in seeing that one day (given I can turn it into a stand alone novel), she said yes. So all is not lost
But of course I'll query my little heart out for this first novel! It's still a great result considering Sarah requested my partial as a result of a pitch contest I entered. Hopefully it will attract other agents' attentions, too.
