Meant to CNR this in November. Website says to consider it a pass if you haven't heard back in 30 days.

I was just about to submit a query when I saw a note that he doesn’t like talking animals.

If you haven't heard back from John about your full, nudge him after 6 months or so. I finally got an answer on my full after a year and two nudges. (Rejected)

EQ: 11/24/20
Requested full 11/29/20. Full sent 11/30/20

Submitted my full 11/30 - no answer yet. He has several other Full requests earlier than mine that he hasn't responded to, although he's requested new fulls recently (Feb and March 2021)

SF 83K
Note that I had scheduled a consultation with John through Manuscript Academy, so this was not just a slush-pile query. After our talk he requested 10 pages and then after reading those requested the full (!)

April 2021 - Nudged him regarding the full and he suggested I send it again with the query included in the attachment.

11/8/21 - Nudged again so I could close it out. 11/10/21 he responded, apologizing for the delay and said he didn't fall in the love with the manuscript. Closed/rejected.

Via the automatic query reply: Hello! Unfortunately my computer has died, so responses will be delayed temporarily. Thanks for your patience.
