I'm a little confused about the submission guidelines. Does she prefer both the synopsis and fifty pages/three chapters attached? Or the synopsis in the body of the email with the writing sample attached? Someone commented earlier that they believe they were even intentionally overlooked for not following the specific guidelines so I'm just wondering.

CNR: 6/22/21: Not sure if my query was lost or went into spam, as she responded to everyone around me. However, she never responded to my nudge, so I'm closing this out.

* I noticed she has requested and/or rejected since my submission. I also realized I didn’t submit per her guidelines with the synopsis and 50 pages attached. Not sure how I overlooked that but I’m assuming it prompted her to pass directly over my submission, which makes sense.
