As far as LitMatch.com is concerned, the Collins Literary Agency is inactive.
A check of the agency's website shows that Nina Collins is no longer on the list of agents there, and it is her agency, after all. In fact, there's only one agent in the place, and it's not a Collins.
I sent a query to Ayesha Pande of the Collins Literary Agency back in April, complete with SASE, and never heard back. It fell to reason, then, that the agency might have closed up shop, since there was no response. Another agent trying to go off on her own and failing. It's a tough, highly competitive business.
Yet a little light has flickered, an update at PublishersMarketplace.com. Ayesha Pande is still in the business, still interested in queries apparently. The query requirements have been updated to eliminate e-queries. She wants snail mail only, with pages.
My last query went unanswered, but could it have been lost in the mail? Or has Ms. Pande adopted Miriam Altshuler's approach, to not reply if there's no interest, in spite of the SASE stuffed into the packet.
It's only a few cents for the postage, a piece of paper and a pair of envelopes. Might as well give it another try.
