@stargrave, @jennadevillier - I’m joining the 24 day club! I have my fingers crossed. She reps one of my comps and I love her podcast. I have a feeling, even if there is a request for more materials, it will be a long wait. She sets expectations that she spends a good length of time before responding and I imagine life is pretty busy with the new agency.

@jennadevillier I'm at 24 days with her too. Let's hope she set ours aside because they resonated with her. :) That's what I've been doing at least. She's one of my dream agents so the fact she's held onto mine for so long while rejecting others so quickly is uplifting at least.

@jennadevellier - according to her twitter she takes her time with some she may be interested in. she puts things down for a bit to see if it stays with her and makes her think over a period of time.

I hope my query didn't somehow get lost! Laura seems like she responds pretty quickly, and I'm at 24 days

*Their wishlists still instruct to send to RedSofa so take note*
Something I like about her query form is that she requests three chapters, which I think is great because if by chance the ms starts in the wrong place, at least you have a chance to redeem yourself in the next chapters...kudos on new agency!
