Well... looks like it took me 69 days to get a form rejection. At least it's not a CNR. It's a distinction without a difference in the greater scheme of things, but it's still more concrete, I suppose.

@RD1981 it took 89 days for me to hear a response on my initial query. He says on his website and submission guidelines that he is slow. Most big name agents take 80+. I'd give him time. He always responds, I've never heard of Joshua having a reputation for CNR.

66 days in and radio silence. I know that his average request time is literally double that, but I'm starting to think that this one will probably end up as a CNR.
