Update: Personalized rejection. Really liked the voice, thinks I'm a strong writer, but Contemp/Urban fantasy is a really tough sell right now so she's passing. Wants to see whatever I write next.
Not necessarily in Courtney's normal wheelhouse, but she represents a good friend of mine and has expressed interest in my work. We'll see how it goes!

Thanks @survivorextraordinaire and good luck! (Also just FYI I moved my status from here to Ben's own page now that he has one, since I queried him from the get-go.)

@amkade I queried Courtney in late July, nudged in November, and then received a full request from Ben 11/14. He let me know this week that he should be finished with the full two weeks from now
