I'm quite confused, as Alice seems to respond to queries within days but my three week old query has still not been responded to. I'm fine to wait, but I'm concerned that it hasn't been received, despite ensuring that I addressed the correct email and such. Should I leave it, nudge, or resubmit it?

This is going to sound weird, but after five days I still haven't responded to Martell's request. The many comments below about quick turnaround on manuscripts have left me feeling like there's no point, that she's just going to reject my novel after a cursory glance.

Will respond when I finish revising my synopsis so that it matches the final draft.

BK - Query on 10/4/21, response received same day requesting 50 pages and plot summary. Rejection received 5/11/21.

9/29/21--Very fast response, asking for synopsis and first 50 pages same day I queried her.

10/2/21--Rejected, but like some other feedback I have read about Ms. Martell, very positive and encouraging. She thought my work was well done, but that she didn't quite have the "passion" for my project. However, she was sure some other agent would. Refreshing.

Perhaps a North American speed record for the fastest rejection (memoir, 65K). Pressed send at 3:58pm CST, received one sentence rejection at 5:00pm EST. Just in time to turn off the computer and call it a day.
