That was really the dealbreaker (along with the fact that even without that prominent typo, the writing itself on their agents page wasn't exceptionally good.<br /><br />I got one of the hottest hits ever on my original round of queries (pre-revisions) when I found an agency site which was AMAZINGLY well written, and said so even at the risk of looking brown-nosey.

We put in so much time to make sure our manuscripts are mistake-free, yet an agent can't make a short Agent Query page mistake free? It would be one thing if it were one, but you're finding several.
