Queried: 14 April 2024
Rejection: 24 October 2024
YA contemporary romance: 93k
Very confused about the word count comment, but anyway. Onward.
"Thanks so much for sending __ my way. While this sounds like an interesting story, and one that I'm sure will find a home, the word count seems a bit too low for your age range and genre, if this is intended as a full-length novel.The publishing industry is very subjective, so what may not work for me could be just what another agency is looking for. But thank you again for considering me, and best of luck in querying!"

Nudged via email on 7/16 about resubmitting an overhauled query and opening pages, no response. It does seem that she's been getting to some of those March queries in the past month or so, but also it seems like she's been responsive to revision nudges from others
