"Well, maternity leave ends one week from today. I can’t believe how fast that went. I also can’t believe how much catching up I have to do. I owe my clients some solo time, then #DVpit subs, so I won't reopen to queries until at least mid-July. Stay tuned."

It seems like with this agent she goes through queries exactly by date, as I was able to follow the reply graph from querytracker and sure enough, my rejection came exactly on the day that the query before me was responded too. Hope that's helpful for those waiting.

"Thank you so much for your submission. Unfortunately I don't feel I'm the appropriate agent to represent your work as the story just isn't right for me. I'm sure another agent will feel differently, and with the vast array of opinions in the industry, I wish you the best in finding the right representation."
