Thanks, Patrick. Not sure how I misread that — multiple times! Oops. We'll see what happens.

@devanshigupta01
I also received a full request on the 11th and sent a .docx file. I didn't think twice about it — I thought she was simply noting that she didn't want a PDF. I didn't receive a confirmation of receipt either, but I've found the auto-reply doesn't always kick in when sending a full.

Fingers crossed for you (us)!

Hi dpfs_2018,
She is only looking for YA romance, though. Not adult romance.

Her genres should be updated. According to her bio, she's looking for romance, too.

@catamg, yes, the same happened to me when she requested a full. I think it's because you send your original query to the general submissions email but Melissa responds from her own email. Anyway, congrats! Hope you get good news soon!

I received a full request from Melissa on 7/12 and immediately sent the ms - yay! I did not, however, received a confirmation from her, and I usually do from agents requesting a full. I did get the auto-confirmation after the query, just nothing after the full. Anyone else have this experience? Thanks!
