08/20/2021 - sent query via online form

09/29/2021 - received rejection with email. "Dear (my name). I I hate to say this is going to be a pass as (book title) does not sound like a fit for me at this time. Thank you for considering The Tobias Literary Agency, and please do stay the querying course as this industry is highly subjective. After all, H. P. Lovecraft received 200 rejections before his first story was published. Best of luck with your future queries."

I appreciate him taking the time to give me encouragement. The query journey continues :-)

@Stafocker, I'm in the same situation. Had a Pitmad request from back in June and I sent the submission in an email too. I wonder if we should resubmit using the form?

Rejection came from Stefanie Rossitto. I guess he must have passed it on to her.

I was sent a very polite FR from Matt Belford, who I suppose he passed the MS to. I'm very appreciative of the fast reply.

Rej: 5/27/21 from Natascha Morris which came as a huge shock because I had no idea the query was passed to her—I emailed Lane in April saying I had new pages, but apparently I should have sent that to Natascha instead? But how would I have known?

I wonder what's with the little pockets of ignored queries. I wonder if they're ones under consideration... Here's hoping! Lol.
