Received email with positive feedback on 2/9 and request for personal info (bio, connection to children).

Said she’s very backlogged and encouraged nudge in mid-March if she hasn’t responded

Update 3/21: nudged 3/16. She said while the story is engaging, she doesn’t know that the hook is unusual/strong enough to compete in the market. Helpful feedback!
