nudge with offer 4/13, full requested same day, sent same day
detailed and polite step aside with feedback 4/27, she stated she would have requested revisions if I didn't already have an offer. So lovely and useful with her feedback despite not offering, def recommend to query.
3/28 EQ (DVPit Request)
UPDATE: its 19/04/2022; I just sent another nudge and to ask if she could provide me with some info so I can either refresh the query or close it down for my own knowledge and record
FURTHER UPDATE: 20/04/2022 - I heard from Penelope and she's still considering! She's hoping for end of May so fingers crossed. Even if it's a rejection at this point with a little feedback I'll be happy

Penelope really loved the book and took the time to write an email about what worked for her and the few plot points that fell short, saying that if I didn't already have an offer she'd like offer an R&R. It was a very kind message and she sounds like she'd be great to work with.
