Update, 4/9/21: Rosie is absolutely fantastic. I've been working with her for almost a year now, and she is absolutely the champion I want in my corner. I love working with her. <3 If you're on the fence, query her anyway!

Sent MS same day with a note that I had had a small press give me a publication offer
Received contract from publisher 5/8/20, sent nudge to Rosie; she asked for a week

Offer of rep: 5/15/20

Phone call 5/19/20, gave me two weeks to decide, but Rosie provided such specific points of what direction she'd want to go in that were exactly the pieces of direction I'd been waiting for for this book, so I accepted 5/20/20. So far, she's been super lovely and I'm thrilled to have her in my corner.

Also, she told me she'd be pitching the book as YA, which was how I'd been initially pitching it for years, sooooo *shrug* I'm not sure if she would have liked my pitmad pitch if I'd branded it as YA, but it was one of those books that really toes the line between two categories, so lesson learned: try everything and anything, then learn from your mistakes. :D
