She did have the courtesy to finally get back to me. I appreciate that. Must be a very busy agent.

Form letter from her assistant.

Thought it was a CNR but re-checked the website and realized I never got the confirmation of receipt email. Just re-submitted through form.

She does seem to be backlogged, but I think that after a year she doesn't really need to respond unless it's a request for materials. I had considered her a "no" a long time ago. Form response below:

It is with kind thanks that I respond to your submission to Kimberley Cameron & Associates Literary Agency. I apologize for the long, long delay in response and realize you may have likely published already. Please be assured that I have carefully considered your project. Unfortunately, I don't feel the manuscript is right for me at this time.

I'm afraid the story just didn't pull me in soon enough.

Because we receive more than two hundred submissions per week, it is necessary to be extremely selective on a very subjective basis. There are numerous excellent agents that might be the right fit for your manuscript. I wish you all the best and will happily consider any future projects.

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

According to the website:
Liz has temporarily closed submissions in order to get caught up on backlog. Please check back in the springtime.

Ten months to the day for a response, and it was a request for more. Obviously, she is quite busy. On the plus side, that might be a good thing.

So this definitely makes my record for longest response to a query... I queried her on 9/16/2015 and just got a reject back this week on 9/6/2016! Like JohnPansini, that's just shy of a year for a query. She did mention they receive over 200 queries a week.

I sent this agent a query on 9/5/15. She got back to e today, 8/29/16. That's a few days short of a year! Why did she even bother?

June 2015 I queried her with WF. I think it was a week or so later she responded with a R&R. I worked for five months revising with her suggestions in mind, even hired an editor to help. Finally, in October 2015, I sent requested revised ms. January 2016, I gently nudged. She responded that she'd not had a chance to read my work, mostly due to not having an assistant. This agent has been popping up in my dreams, so I'm still hoping she'll take the time to revisit my work. Otherwise, I guess this will be a CNR...

Sent online form 5 May 16: fiction with elements of science history, fantasy, and cats, illustrated. 62,000 words.

With Liz's help I went through two revisions (first for length; second development edit by freelance editor); lots of great feedback; in the end it was a pass but she was incredibly generous throughout the whole process and included a referral to another agent in the rejection.

Profile Update: Genres updated. Query by form only.
