Nudge with Offer of Representation: 1.31.23
Full Request from Assistant: 2.1.23 (Sent 2.1.23)
YA Historical, 79k
A few days later, the email changed....and requirements changed (I think? Still confused about this).
Nudged 1/26/23 to make sure my query was not lost in the changeover. I got a reply from new assistant (Anqi) within 24 hrs that i was still under consideration but they skipped the part where I asked for a timeline. SIGH.
"Hi Sara,
I can confirm that your query made it safely through the email change, and that it is still under consideration! Thank you for checking in.
Best,
Anqi"
So current query age is 57 days.
I KNOW these guys are slow. But at least I have some validation I'd still in the mix, I guess?
I sent a standard query...query letter, 1st 10 pages of mss.

I just sent my query and first ten pages. There was conflicting info so I just kept it standard. Seeing as Ms. Reamer does not seem all that hungry for new clients (and understandably so bc she reps superstars), I guess she isn't too into her slush pile.
That's why I called it shooting for the moon! I don't actually expect a request from her but hey, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take ;)
This, my friends, is what you call shooting for the moon. LOL
