EQ 6/5/18 (Venom)
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.

I submitted in October 2016, followed up a few times via email without response, and a year later asked them what their turn-around time is on Twitter. Never got a response. So after 13 months, I'll close this out.
