7/31/2018 Emailed about correcting the grammar in my manuscript to see if he wanted an updated copy - answered within an hour saying yes.
*I don't wanna get my hopes up since he still hasn't turned me down but it's been about his normal turnover time and he just agreed to seeing my updated version - so I think that's a good start*
ER- six minutes later.
At least he's fast.

5/16/18: form rejection within minutes
ER: 5/1/18
"Thank you for the query [name]. But this is not right for me. I wish you all the best. Bill Contardi" ... I thought this was a nice form reject. I appreciated that he used my name. :)
This was for an MG fantasy (76k) and I believe I'd read somewhere recently he didn't want any more fantasy... so I knew it was a long shot, but worth a try.
ER: 5/2
Super fast which was very much appreciated.
ER 4.29.18
"..not right for me"
Quick, which is appreciated. Kind of like ripping off a Band-Aid. Less painful when it isn't drawn out...I guess...
