She has had my manuscript since August of 2018. Several emails back and forth, requested revised drafts.
I just sent her my latest draft, but since she hasn't had time to read any version of this novel in the past two years, I'm not hopeful. lol

I hadn't heard from her since February, but she sent a very nice (unsolicited) email today (12/20/19) saying that she is still reading and apologizing for taking a while. So don't be depressed if she's had your MS a while! Looks like she is reading everything.
