LF, 81k
CNR: 6/27/2020
PR: 2/4/20
ER: 2/5/20 very quick turnaround, which lessens the blow. she said she's very selective about taking on new clients, especially debuts, and skews more literary
upmarket WF 92K
CNR: 10/18/2019.
PR: a few hours later.
Hoping she'll request the full as she seems like a wonderful agent.
ER: Nice person. Not literary enough for her.
Memoir 70k
CNR: Aug 16/19 (she's requested pages for others since my query was sent)
Women's/Historical Fiction - 89K
PR, 3 chapters, 3/13 (within minutes); sent same day
FR 3/13 (she's fast!). She asked for an exclusive look but it's under review by other agents, so I had to ask if she would read anyway. She said yes, so I sent the full same day.
Response to full 3/20: She's not ready to sign the book on, but feels the potential is there if I'm open to revision. She called the next day to give me wonderful, thoughtful feedback, and I'll be excited to resubmit when the ms is ready if I don't sign with another agent before then. Fingers crossed!
2nd round submission 6/12, offered 2-week exclusive on the submission, which she accepted.
ER, 6/25. Heartbroken, but she's not fully behind the book, so it's best.
CNR 6/23/19
ER 5/6/19 (Passed via nudge--not good fit)
ER 3/13/19 (Passed via nudge--not interested)
Congrats Jsk!
CNR 8/25/18 (No nudges)
