UPDATE: Now, there's a bad link to the agency's query form at https://www.unitedtalent.com/publishing-submit Not sure what's going on. Perhaps under construction. In November 2024, I included this caution about the online form: "The online form is not constructed well. If you fill out all of the details on the left side of the form, but click "Read our Guidelines Here" before submitting or uploading your file, you will lose ALL of the information you just input. This happened to me twice because I stupidly forgot my own lesson. So, if you don't want to re-do everything, read the guidelines first. Or, don't even bother because the guidelines are just a bunch of legalese and not at all helpful. Then enter your details, query, upload your PDF, then submit. etc."

Form reply (not an answer to the query) from assistant, Josh Bloom, 10/28:

Definitely a form. I assumed auto-reply, but haven't seen any mention of it here. "Thank you so much for your query. We have received and will be reviewing your materials as fast as we can. Please note that due to the high volume of queries, we won't be able to give feedback on every submission"

I just checked the query timeline and found that every fantasy genre submission for the last TWO YEARS has been CNRs. Why ask for fantasy submissions if you're going to completely ignore fantasy submissions for TWO YEARS? I'm adding mine to the list of CNRs. I'm not wasting any more time checking on an agent who clearly isn't looking for my genre.
