Form Reject: 11/11

Helpful rejection, though! She specified that she loved the voice and premise, but didn't fall in love with the world.

@BrittanyEvans Even with a partial, I'd recommend waiting at least 3 months before nudging unless the agency website states a specific time for partials/fulls

Liked my pitmad pitch on Sept 3 - tweeted @ her that I already queried her
Requested partial same day (Sept 3)

I haven't heard anything since (its now oct 21) I keep wondering if I should nudge or not?

Did not feel it was quite right for her list at the moment but was very encouraging and nice in her rejection.
