I submitted a partial on 8/27 in response to her request at a writers conference. Haven't heard back, so sent a (hopefully) polite follow up. She seems way too nice to blow off a submission.

I met her at a writers conference recently and she seems great, very nice and very present and attentive and interested.

8/27/16: Finally sent out my first three chapters. Let the worrying begin!!

It's been a little over a month, ARealGShaw. Check her submission guidelines and then nudge if it had expired.

No response--unfortunately for me she had just finished a conference the day before & tweeted that she was extremely busy. I didn't check her Twitter page before submitting.

Jessica's note was so nice and her response so quick that it is all the more heart-breaking that this didn't work out. She had some very helpful comments and offered to look at future projects, so I will try to look on the bright side, but awfully disappointed.

Good luck to anyone who is querying her; she seems absolutely amazing.
