CNR 4/15/19 (Though this automatically closed last fall last year, I did nudge him and heard back from him in February--he said to check my spam for a response. I did. Nothing there. No more responses from him up until this point before he changed to Query Manager.)

I was in contact with Cassandra from TRF. She requested the first 50 pages. While she didn't take me on as a client, she wrote me an encouraging and kind rejection letter.

I never got a response either, but I did end up on their email list to advertise writing seminars, etc. that I could pay for. Not impressed with that tactic.
