Nice rejection
9/5/18: Resent the query today, a little after 4 weeks per guidelines on her website and auto response. However, the upstart crow website says 12 weeks no response = no and the timeline on QT doesn't show too many responses, so if I don't hear anything by Nov. then I'll probably close it out.

THREE weeks ago wrote "Am considering CNR, but just saw that a few people who submitted in July are just hearing back. " And just got a Full Request (with a note apologizing for the delay in response). Fingers crossed, but I guess she means it when she says she'll get back to you.

"Dear XXXXXX,
Thank you so much for sharing your book with me! I've had a chance to read your story and appreciate the work that went into writing it. Unfortunately, I'm not the right agent for this project, so must pass. But my opinion is only one, of course, so keep querying!
With gratitude and good wishes, Susan Hawk"
Liked my Twitter pitch on DVPit.
Thank you so much for sharing your book with me, I truly appreciate your interest. I've had a chance to review and consider your work and can see how much you've invested in this. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm the right agent for this particular project, so I must pass. But I send this with gratitude and all good wishes for the future.
