Is anyone else having problems emailing her? Every time I email to SGolombSubmissions@writershouse.com it says undeliverable. Anything helps. Thanks.

Nudge: 6/25
FR (three weeks later after the nudge): 7/17

I was SHOCKED to get a full request (and also a request for a 2-3 page synopsis) from Susan's assistant, Mariah Stovall. This seemed like a total long-shot and I basically gave up on ever getting a response. They said they'll get back to me within 12 weeks and that if I get rep that I notify them asap and they'd expedite their decision if that happens. Wowee-wow. I'm just excited that she's going to be taking a look (and that FINALLY someone from Writers House is interested in taking a look at my whole book)!

9/27 Nudge about offer of rep from another agent, in 1 min Mariah reached back to me congratulating me and saying that she and Susan hope to meet my deadline on 10/8!

10/3 ER

Mariah sent me a note written by Susan herself: she passed for "entirely subjective reasons" (couldn't connect with the execution), but she was mostly very complimentary about my writing, kind with her feedback, and gave me well wishes for my success. Overall I'm happy and satisfied with my correspondence with Mariah and Susan and am honored and flattered that they read and considered my book.
