YA Fantasy 95,000 words. From the looks of the comments here, she usually sticks to Children's and MG, but if she likes the query enough, she'll ask to see more. Fingers crossed!

PB 500 words. Website does not specify how long to wait before assuming it's a pass, but given how quickly she tends to respond when interested, I think it's safe to close this out.

FYI: This agent is big on picture books. She had a few MG sales. The only YA sale she made was in 2011.

Rejection on 3/10/21: "Apologies for the delay. While there was a good deal I liked in here (some marvelous characters), overall I did not feel sufficiently engaged to undertake the difficult market for ghost stories so must pass. Thank you, and all best"
