Parting Is Not Always Such Sweet Sorrow

While checking Publishersmarketplace.com earlier, I noticed that agent Josh Getzler had updated his page.

Somewhat.

Within the changed words was a brief mention of a new literary agency, yet his information still had him at Russell and Volkening.

A little later, all was changed.

Almost.

Mr. Getzler and his cohorts are still listed on the Russell and Volkening website, but they've been gone since last Friday.

Sounds rather sudden, doesn't it? To launch a new venture without a website in place, without any hints about leaving for greener pastures?

Did Mr. Seldes get wind of the plot by three of his agents to bolt, and then show them the door as payment for their treachery?

No matter how it came to be, there is a new literary agency awaiting your queries. Although considering Mr. Getzler's track record on responding to queries, he may not be waiting, exactly.

Hannigan Salky Getzler Agency will represent authors of fiction and non-fiction for adults and children. In short, the agents will continue their earlier interests when they were employed by Russell and Volkening so you can check at AgentQuery.com for particulars.

They have more bills to pay, now that they're on their own. It's possible that Jessica Salky might be more amenable to your women's fiction query than she has been in the past.
