Does anyone have any information about Brandt & Hochman Literary Agency? Specifically, Joanne Brownstein, who I believe is a relatively new agent there.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Does anyone know if the AQ posting that Bill Contardi works with debut novelists is still accurate? Thanks.

A few months ago, I queried the gentlemen and he responded in short order. If I remember correctly, I think he was among the first few agents to request a partial and it was clear from my query that I was a first-time novelist. If things haven't changed within the year, I'm confident he still looks at debut authors.
lois, he has my full and knows i am
a debut author. so yes!
he's also famous for being quick to respond.
expect to hear from him within 24 hours via
email. =)
Um, does he respond to all? It's been two days and I haven't heard anything. However, I guess I will wait a full week (j/k) before I panic and put a rejection next to his name. LOL.
Thanks. Good luck on your full!
9 minute rejection to my query - on a Sunday!
But at least he is fast!
And this is real-time today? Sheesh. I've got my 'Inbox' set to alert. He's had mine for three days now. I know, I know, in the scheme of things it's nothing but his rep is lightning fast, so maybe he didn't get mine? I used billATbillcontardi.com but I didn't get a bounce back, so hmmm...
Maybe he's working his way backwards from the most recent. Thanks for the update, sorry about the news, though.
How weird. He responded to my query today within a half-hour for a request for a partial. Maybe he really didn't get yours after all.
This is probably a dumb question--but is your original email in your "sent" folder?
Wait (A dirty word in my house, so I try to use it sparingly).
Perhaps he likes what he's read and wants to take another look. You don't want to come across too impatient, regardless. Your query or his response could very well be lost, but this is far too early for a status check.
Hang tight!
