CNR: 3/31/2017, Since her longest positive response time is 38 days.
ER: 4/19/2017. I was surprised to receive a personalized rejection from her. She encouraged me to "continue developing" my work and "reach out to agents." Since I submitted to her back in January, I had cut 13K words. Perhaps the 100K+ put her off.
Adult UF 107K
CNR: 11/18
ER: 1/25 (I'd long since closed this out, but always appreciate when agents respond)

ER 9/6/16 (Passed--not right fit for list. I was about to close her out today.) I'll try her with my new ms next month or try Rachel Crawford instead.
5/31/16--I've heard back from Allison today with a pass on CR (not a right fit, try other agencies). I'll try her in mid-June with Venom's new query.
ER: 4/5/16 (form rejection from agency)
