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

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!

HannahR, I sent a query on 4/1/19, and received an auto response right away. I'm not sure why you didn't get it. Did you put "Query" in the subject line?
Good luck on your submission.

Has anyone queried her, not received the auto response, and still heard back? I've queried twice now without getting the auto response, and it's not in spam.

Detailed feedback, with kind words about what did and didn’t work for her. I’d recommend querying her.
