Full Request - 5/23/22, sent same day
She has a high request rate and my opening pages changed from the initial query so my hopes aren't high for this one but I have so much respect for this agent and her clients I can't help but hope a little bit!
**6/7/22 - She sent an email updating that she is still considering material but won't get to it immediately because of her wedding & honeymoon; said to expect a response by "end of summer at the absolute latest." Can I just say, even if/when she rejects me, I'm obsessed with this level of courtesy, communication, and openness. Really really great vibes from Danielle, she seems like a great agent to work with on all fronts.
'...I’m still working through requested materials from my last opening and am getting married in three weeks and then going on my honeymoon...
One of the personal values I hold is that every query and everything I request deserves a response, which is of course more time consuming than a policy of ‘no response means a pass.'

It looks like her request rate is around 14% but she hasn't signed anyone in a year so I'm trying to manage expectations.

Manuscript Sent: 3/11/22
Received a revise and submit from another agent. Sent a message on 3/14/22 asking if she'd liked the revised manuscript, but never got a response.
Rejection 4/4/22
She said I'm a strong writer with an engaging voice but had a hard time seeing how she would position the story to break out in the crowded market.

Full Request 25/03/22
This was my first and last batch of queries because with everything going on now I was hopeless it would interest anyone so it was a nice surprise. Anyway, bracing myself for disappointment so if it comes the blow won't be so hard.
3/9/22 - Full Request (Submitted same day)
3/24/22 - Kind rejection with a line or two of personalized feedback. I appreciated her fast response & her encouragement, despite the rejection. I'd definitely query her again with another project.
