@SheriS Notify her/send a message on QueryTracker. Or you could pull your submission and resubmit. I believe she'll be open on Tuesday.

Not about the specific agent per say, but I was just made aware of a majorly dumb mistake I made within the text I submitted. (The epilogue was pasted into the middle of chapter one. 🤦‍♀️) Any idea what to do here?

@JustPlainDan She's open the first week of every month. Lots of agents are doing this right now.

@JustPlainDan, she hasn’t opened her QM form and agents have full control over them.
