EQ: 9/12/18 Fiction
ER: 9/24/18 Form rejection. McQuilkin started following me on Instagram out of the blue a few months ago. He was one of the top agents on my list, as a junior agent from his agency had reached out to me several years ago about my writing. So I was disappointed to not even get a personal rejection from him.

PR: 4/23/18
ER: 5/4/18 Form rejection. I think it was the same letter they send for rejected queries, stating "Thank you for sending us your query." Said nothing about the submitted material, and signed simply MMQ.... thankful for the fast turnaround, though.

EQ: 4/12
PR: 4/16 - technically not a "partial request" just that they wanted me to add the first 5-10 pages (I forgot to do that, lol) as promptly as I could, naturally I apologized and also attached the original query.
4/23 - Right on time as usual, a form rejection exactly a week later lol. Same as others posted below and signed by the anonymous "MMQ."

Reply from intern 4/18/17 stating "Thank you for your query. As per the submission guidelines on our website, please send the first 5-10 pages of your manuscript pasted into the body of an email"

I replied to intern on 4/18 stating, "Please note my project is nonfiction. Your submission guidelines state: 'If your project is fiction, please also include the first 5-10 pages... ' However, at your request, I am adding the first 10 pages to the bottom of my original query (below)."
