Submitted query: 01/12/22
3/11/2022: I want to send a nudge, but it seems like the option is unavailable in the QM query status page. It only offers the options to withdraw or report an offer of representation. I'm guessing he is just very busy.

Has anyone heard back on a partial request? Sent one in Feb. and his timeline doesn’t look promising. Assuming no news is a no?

Is there any news on people who are waiting for a reply from November? I sent mine on 1/30, haven't heard anything yet. I wonder if I should nudge?

Hello everyone! Any responses from November queries? My query is way past the average reply time, even if Lane had passed along the query, but I'd hate to bother him while he's still considering.

@Marmoisan, I've got a query from October still pending, so you're not alone.

My gut tells me that we're in his 'maybe' pile, since he uses QueryManager and can see how many pending queries he has at any time. It's unlikely that our queries got lost, and barring any technical issues, as long as it's still listed as pending then it hasn't been rejected. However, it's also possible that he's a little slower to respond than usual because of the holidays.

On Publisher's Marketplace, he's also sold a bunch of stuff, so maybe he's been wrapped up working with existing clients.
