That's awesome, tiff80515! Ms. Azantian seems like a lovely person, and I wish you luck should you decide to revise.

Jennifer was very kind and insightful in her reply. She explained that she took so long because she set my pages aside for more detailed reading, then went on to explain why she feels my book is more suited for MG than YA, and invited me to submit a partial of 100 pages should I make the appropriate revisions.

I queried her via a referral so it was emailed (not on her form). 2/25/18
I just heard back. Full request. She had a surgery early in the year and has been struggling to keep up since. She apologized for the delay but she prioritizes her clients, which I understand. (And would appreciate if I was one, I'm sure.) 5/1/18

CNR: a long time ago... But I posted this comment on 3/2/2018

UPDATE: you guys she actually replied to a solicited query... literally six and a half months later.
ER: 25/4/2018

She requested an old ms of mine twice during #Pitmad fall 2017 and #dvpit 2017, but I never heard back from her. After much debating and crying, I shelved that story and wrote a new one. Then, after pitching my new story in #PitMad March, Jennifer sent me a very kind dm requesting that I query her + first 50 pages + synopsis. She's very behind on her requested materials, but I know she is working very hard to get them read!

I got a super nice step aside from Jennifer after an offer of rep - she said she was too swamped to read fully in time.

EQ: 9/9 #Pitmad request
ER: 10/5 personalized rejection; actually one of the sweetest/most encouraging rejection I've received haha

Tip: Don't close Jennifer out quickly; she takes her time because she really cares to give everyone's work a chance.
Also: It can be risky to nudge agents with revisions and I don't normally advise it, but I have done it successfully when I had reason to believe the agent hadn't started reading yet or the changes were significant enough to mention but still minor enough not to warrant a reread if agent had started reading.

Good luck everyone!
