As of November 20, 2012 (that is, Midnight Eastern Time tonight) I am closed to queries. I will reopen to queries January 7, 2013.
If I already have your work, you should hear from me by January 7. (That's the point of taking the break, I have to catch up!)
I'm sorry to say that I cannot respond to new queries sent during this time.
The exceptions will be: work that I've requested -- conference material -- client or editor referrals -- and people I actually know in real life. If this is you, please be sure you've said so, along with the word Query, IN THE SUBJECT LINE of your email. Otherwise, your query will be deleted.
For all other regular queries, please feel free to try any of my colleagues at Andrea Brown Lit, or else try me again in January.
Thanks again for thinking of me in regard to your work.
Wishing you all the best, and Happy Holidays,
Jennifer Laughran
Andrea Brown Literary Agency

Enjoy your time off. Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays!
This is actually nice for me, because it gives me a deadline to send my work in to you. I wasn't sure what editors did over the holidays -- if they kept reading or shut up shop until Jan. Thanks for letting us know! =)
To clarify - I'M STILL READING - I'm just reading the hundreds of things I already have to read, not taking NEW things.
Oh I'm not taking time off. I've got hundreds of queries and dozens of fulls to get through! :-)
Hope you'll still find time to update the blog amidst the onslaught of work!
Do you realize the date on this post - 2014. :D
I do indeed. I purposely dated it forward so it would remain on top.
