MG Contemporary 44K words
Jacqui's page at Tobias Lit mentions focusing on adult submissions but her QM page still has options for MG, etc. I know many agents remove options for other target ages/genres from their QM pages if they're not opened to them, but I wasn't sure if Jacqui was officially closed to those genres or just being more selective with them. I figured it was worth a shot, but some additional research may be wise if you're subbing something other than adult to Jacqui. Good luck out there! :)
Form reply:
"I'm sorry, but your project does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. I understand that you have put significant work into this submission and I'm sorry that the volume of queries I receive doesn't enable me to respond personally to each author. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries."
