When I first emailed, I got a message saying she was away from her email. She was still able to respond within 4 days, which I appreciate.

1.7.18 resent a request -- she had said the book was in her reading queue back in September. Got back an "out of office" notice with no end date: I am away and checking my email infrequently. If you need urgent attention, please contact the main office of The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency ..

Oh well....

Thanks so much for sending me your query. I’m going to pass on this one because I found it didn’t spark my interest.


I wish you the best in finding a home for your work.


Sincerely,
Marie

Is it too soon to nudge her on a query? I never nudge, but she requested a previous MS of mine before and it's been 38 days on this query.

9/25/17 I sent a follow up email and resent the query letter & full manuscript which she had requested by separate email in case it had gotten in the spam filter. Marie wrote baca cryptic response: "It's in my read queue."

9.23.17 I pitched my literary novel to Ms. Lamba at a writer's conference and she requested the full manuscript which I sent August 13, 2017. It's been 41 days so I sent an email inquiring about whether she had received the manuscript. And by separate email, I resent the original query & manuscript. Waiting game....
