Would not recommend this agent to anyone, after spending four years as her client when she was with The Rights Factory. A horrible experience and a complete waste of time. Feel free to contact me for details.

Disclaimer
Always verify agent's information before sending your query, and review the agent's website(s) for more up-to-date information.
Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.
Before contacting an agent, authors should verify and assess the agent's requirements and suitability by visiting the agent's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad agents. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
Keep in mind, when reading this, that a manuscript that has already been widely shopped around by one agent is unlikely to find a home with a publisher since so many editors have already considered it.. A new agent is unlikely to take that book on for that reason. So the first agent only fails the client, but ruins the future of that book.
Agents should submit in carefully-selected small batches, see how that goes before sending to more after carefully reviewing the submission strategy so far, possibly adjusting the approach before submitting more.
This agent seems to have indiscriminately sent the manuscript to around 50 editors with her fingers crossed.
The writer provides screenshots of emails and the submissions list.
