Hey all,

Hopefully those of you who are thinking of submitting to me are following this blog and agentquery.com. This update should be on agentquery shortly.

I must say sadly that I am closing to submissions for the foreseeable future. Because I do this part-time, in addition to graduate school, being a dad, and my own writing, I have been backed up lately with great projects. I have four or five people whose manuscripts are very important to me but who get shunted aside by other things. In order to get to them, I have to stop the slush from piling up.

If you have sent me a partial or a full manuscript, then know that you are in my priorities, but the next two weeks of finals will push everything aside. After that I've got a very good client whose novel is awaiting a critique, then several other prospective clients who are awaiting critique, and another client whose work needs to go out to editors. After that I can work on partials and slush.

If you are still dying to talk to me, you can go to Boise's Murder in the Grove conference this weekend, and I may still make it to the Surrey International Writer's Conference in October, and of course you can hunt me down at Worldcon, attempting to steal kisses from George R.R. Martin. But I am not taking any submissions, or new clients, for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for understanding.
