On the agent's web page, the link to the detailed submission guidelines doesn't work.
But you do get to a submission form by clicking on the SUMBMISSIONS TAB.
However, there's no place on that form to paste in your actual query letter. There's an utterly daunting instruction---what author is asked to do in a mere 2 paragraphs---that struck me as written by somebody aiming to discourage submissions rather than coming out and saying "Closed to Queries". Here 'tis:
Synopsis (up to two paragraphs):
Be as succinct and clear as possible. Describe your project and tell us why it is important, timely, and salable.

Quick reply with a polite rejection, but no indication he read even one word in the 2 hours he had it.
