I have come across a lot of 'stuff' on the internet suggesting that Dorothy Lumley died last year, but the yearbook for 2014 lists the agency with her as the agent to contact. do I take it that the internet is miss-informed or that the agency has other people at its head now and it is still okay to submit to them?
Hello,
I have come across this problem myself as I wanted to submit to this agency too.
I have done some digging and I still cant decide what to do; do I submit or do I ignore this agency since they have made no relevant effort to make things clear for us submitters?
I have made the decision to ignore them for the time being since I came across someone who had submitted their work to the agency and got their work sent back to them with a note in the margin saying that Dorothy had died and that they were no longer taking submissions.
The only suggestion I have for you, if you really want to submit your work to them, is to just submit. Maybe everything said about the agents death is just a lie or a mistake. But you have nothing to loose by submitting. Either the agent is alive and you stand a chance of having your work possibly represented by her. Or she had sadly died and you don't get represent by her.
Good luck to you if you decide to go forth with submitting :) and I hope what I've said to you have been of some help.
