@writingqueer i've nudged twice. They say they respond to all queries but this feels like a lost cause.

CNR'd it and then got a full request. *shrug*

"Thanks for thinking of me for this one! I'm sorry to say that I don't feel that this is the right fit for me, and therefore I would not be your most effective advocate. Unfortunately this is a pass from me, but I wish you the best of luck!
Best,

Anyone heard from Lee recently? I queried at the end of May and... crickets

Does anyone know if Lee accepts picture books? Their Manuscript Wishlist includes each of Young Adult, Middle Grade, and Children's--but doesn't specify whether picture books are accepted or not. None of these categories is listed in the Genres section of QT, so I'm even further confused...

Hi fellow query trenchers! Just wondering since Lee O'Brien works so closely with Victoria, would it be worth querying them (when they reopen) if Victoria passes? Thanks!
