Medical thriller, about 80,000 words, emailed query letter 4/11/20 in the morning.
By mid-day, she personally requested through email the synopsis and 50 pages.
By evening, she responded personally by email that 'the work is nicely done' but she didn't the passion for it
and she expects I will find an agent.
I appreciated her working on a weekend so quickly in these challenging times, and that she responded with encouragement.

icritchi, just have a synopsis pre-written and ready to copy&paste upon request. You can do that to be ready for most questions.(Authors Bio, Synopsis, Target Audience, etc.)

She's twice requested synopsis plus pages on two different novels and then rejected fairly quickly. I've since secured representation. I think she wastes a lot of people's time. I wouldn't query again and certainly would not spend inordinate time on synopsis writing. Just sayin...
