@roxananourishad I don't think yours is a form rejection, the form appears to be what she sent ratkinope as I just received the exact same one.

Has anyone heard back from fulls submitted to thao dec 2020 or after? I only sent out a few queries and have been waiting to hear back from Thao in hopes she provides comments..

@roxananourishad That reads like a form

Edit: I got a rejection too, but it addresses different points than @roxananourishad 's rejection, so Thao really did like your premise! She might have stock responses for common rejection reasons.

"Dear raktinope,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to consider TITLE. There was a lot of creativity here, but I'm afraid it's not right for my list at this time. As you know, these decisions are largely subjective and another agent or editor may have an opinion completely different from mine. I hope you will continue to strive towards publication and thank you again for thinking of me. I am wishing you the best of luck in finding that perfect home for your work."

Has anyone heard from a March query? Has anyone received a response from a March 18 query/around that time period. (I’m curious about her query status). Hopefully, she sends positive news later in the month.

@JustinJoseph

If you look at the timeline it seems as though she has rejected a few from March but the majority are still unanswered.

She said on Twitter she's been slow with queries because she's expecting. She'll be going into maternity leave end of September up till 2022 and will leave BIPOC queries open but probably won't be able to review them during that time.
