Thank you for your submission,
"Your work has been carefully reviewed, and it has been determined that Holloway Literary will not be pursuing representation. We regret sending you this information in a form letter; however, due to the volume of emails we receive daily it is almost impossible to send customized letters to every author. Thank you again for thinking of Holloway Literary, and we wish you every success in your writing career.
Best,"
1/11 - after sending in pitches for other manuscripts, she requested me to send fulls of everything i had, and scheduled a zoom call for 1/20
1/31 - after reviewing, i've now signed the author-agent agreement. first time in my life i'm an agented author!
Frankly, this just makes me believe in our book more than ever. This is what I wrote to Nikki, but it may be too late to rectify the situation.
Dear Nikki,
I don't know how else to contact you, so I hope you read this.
At some point you read and fell in love with our book, (Title). We received an Offer of Representation on January 4th. We were thrilled and I informed other agents that had requested fulls that we were accepting your offer.
Due to my inexperience with literary agents since over a decade, when there were a lot of back-and-forth phone calls, I waited for Lauren to email us the Agreements with electronic signature spaces, not wanting to bother your busy agency.
Yesterday, January 21st, I received an email from Lauren stating that "the deadline to sign the Author-Agency Agreements has passed and the offer of
representation has been rescinded."
We never intended for this to happen, as you will see from the email trail below.
I hope you can help us get back on track. Because of its stories, our book will last a very long time on the real and virtual bookstore shelves of the world.

1/3/22 asked by submissions coordinator to send MS or Proposal as a pdf, because formatting of embedded Proposal was hard to read. Sent MS as a PDF. I can't really consider that as a "Request for Full," but maybe someone will check it out.

9/17/21: Nudge (no response)
