Very kind personalized rejection. She loved my characters but felt something was missing from the plot.

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.
