72 days out...

It's been 121 days... I closed this out some time ago, but perhaps the lot of us that were in the 70-day club might hear back. Anything unanswered in October was being saved for closer consideration.

01/17/2020: I decided to inform Laura that I've since revised both my query and manuscript since my original query (still unanswered) and asked if she'd be ok with me resubmitting it as it now.

Really tech savvy lady. Got immediate acknowledgement of query and pages being received.

@alexathorn, jennadevillier: I sent my query on 9/10 as well and still haven't heard back. I think she must have gotten really behind over the holidays or something. A while ago she posted an update saying that she'd set a bunch of queries aside for deeper consideration, and I'm assuming this still holds true. She hasn't posted anything to indicate otherwise.

I wouldn't write her off just yet! According to the charts she's barely replied to any queries since October. She's probably really busy with the new agency. But a while ago, she posted something on Twitter saying that she was taking a closer look at all the queries she still held onto.

I am also in the 70+ club. ??????? I've written this one off. If something does come, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Thank you, Patrick! I had no idea that was a thing but it does confirm that it was subbed correctly. Thanks!

Checking in on the 9/10, 74 days club. At the very least I'd say she must have liked our queries quite a bit to hold onto them this long!
