Queried in August personal rejection in December. She said she loved it but felt it needed more work and she'd be happy to take a look at it again in six months if I continued to work on it. Not sure how often she says that but I'll take it as a positive!

"While I'm a big fan of the premise and setting of your book, and there is much to like about the story, I didn't fall in love with the opening pages as much as I had hoped. For this reason, I have decided to pass and step aside.
Sophia, I am so sorry this wasn't the right fit but I have no doubt you will have great success, and I wish you the very best of publishing luck as you move forward.
Thank you again for thinking of me. I truly appreciate the opportunity to consider your work."

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

Her twitter account indicates she is closing to queries on 10/12/20.

I didn't get the message jynecca copied below, but I did get the information about 14-18 weeks. Which means I should expect a response around Valentine's Day.

@sophiakate this is her current QM message after submitting:

Thank you for choosing me to review your work for representation. I have received the work and look forward to immersing myself in your world.

My standard turnaround time is running at approximately 14-18 weeks so please allow for that time to pass before requesting an update on your query. I reply to ALL queries received so if, after the initial 18-week period, you have not heard from me, please feel free to nudge me by sending a message via QueryManager.

Warmly,
Saritza
