@Snowglobe: I would email a note with the revised version, asking if she would rather read this one if she hasn't started on the manuscript. I don't think it will hurt your chances, especially since the request was a while back. Good luck!

In the time I've been waiting, I've come to the conclusion it's probably going to be a pass. I've gotten a new CP in the mean time and made some changes that have made it so much better. I wish that I'd sent this version. I guess you live and learn. Even though I'm sure it will be a pass, it would have been nice to have gotten that stated in a formal letter. On the other hand, maybe there's still hope.

Best of luck Snowglobe - they have had my full since May... very slow in responding. I gave them a nudge about a week ago, but still nothing.

Update: Aug.7 - form rejection.
After having my manuscript since May, supposedly considering, I get a form rejection. This blows so much. There are days I feel done with even trying. This is one of these days.

As of this time, I am waiting patiently and I am hopeful.

Still waiting on a full request sent in May- no idea how long they take. They did say they liked what they read so far. I'm tempted to nudge (but fighting the temptation, as in my experience, that just opens the door to rejection.)
Anyone had experience waiting on Fulls with this agency? Never Grow Up... I am curious in hearing more of your story. The timeline seemed quite long.
