very quick to respond and very kind feedback. I was happy to get a letter in the mail but sadly my work was rejected. Thank you for your time to read my Manuscript.

Personalized rejection suggesting a colleague that might be a better fit. He has always been professional and positive in correspondence.

Nudged after 78 days. Anticipating CNR, but doing "the right thing" before submitting to other agents at the agency.

UPDATE: Form rejection two days after nudge.

In an embarassing faux pas, I for some reason was not tracking that my request was still open to Alec and I queried another agent at the agency. I sent the other agent an apology... argh.
