I queried her early 2025, which resulted in a full request. She ended up passing on it but emailed me outside of QM and gave me some very extensive notes, which I appreciate since agents don't usually have that type of time. She invited me to resubmit via a private link that always remains open. Her initial rejection stung, but her notes really inspired me and made the story so much better, so I resubmitted.

Nudged in May 2026: She responded to the nudge the next day apologizing for the delay and saying she hopes to clear out her entire queue by summer.

Update: Still no reply as of Oct. 5, 2026. Judging by the tracker, she's really behind so I assume she forgot all about this.

Update: Finally got a rejection on 11/14/2026

I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Despite my intentions, the summer was very hard personally so my query inbox fell far behind. Thank you for being so patient with me. Unfortunately I’m going to pass here however. As I told you when I first wrote to you, I think you’re an immensely talented writer. Your prose is vivid and affecting, and while I know your query journey has been a long one, I do feel confident that, if you persist, you and your work will land somewhere great. I’m so glad to have been introduced to you and your work and I thank you sincerely for being receptive to my notes and trying me again. I’m wishing you all the best.

Warmly,
Chelsea
