Amanda claims she responds to all queries but she's had my query for 11 months. How am I supposed to query other agents at this agency with my NEW manuscript, if she doesn't close out queries in nearly a year? Should I withdraw my query? Will that make me look bad to other agents at her agency?

Nudged her because a different agent from her agency liked one of my #moodpitch tweets for a new MS. I hope she answers, even if it's a rejection. Would feel bad to withdraw my query, but also to let the other agent who liked my pitch wait... It's been six months after all. Not sure if I should expect a reply but she said she answers every query, so.... idk

easily one - if not the - nicest and most personalized "rejection" I've ever got! It was clear she's read my sample pages from what she wrote.
She liked my writing but has too many similar projects right now, but encouraged me to query her again in the future! :)

@KMVeohongs Well that's pretty crappy! I suspect my SFF query will eventually lead to a rejection then (sitting around 90 days already). I'm sorry to hear she didn't ask for your full again. I had something like this happen to me too with an agent that switched agencies.

Requested a full in June 2021. I had assumed this was a CNR, then got a message in March 2022 saying she was basically clearing her inbox and I was welcome to re-query when she opened in a couple of weeks and to note she had previously requested a full. I sent that in April 2022 when she re-opened, then heard nothing until a rejection this week saying she now had too many SFF authors, so she would not be requesting again. Lesson being, maybe move her to the bottom of your list if you write SFF.

Just didn't vibe with it. Possibly one of the nicest and most-personalized rejections I have ever received.

A very useful response with actionable feedback that'll help me improve. It was very much an appreciated change from other rejections I've received in the past.

Query + Full MS sent per DVPit instructions 08/28/22

I can't even tell what's a form rejection and what's personal feedback anymore, but I feel like this was personal.

Thanks so much for sending me through your materials and allowing me to read. I'm going to pass, but it's very much a me and not you. Your query was written very effectively, but the story is not something that I would choose to read in my personal reading, so I am not the right agent. However, I can see how very marketable and commercial this would be to the right agent, and like I say, your query is very well done. I wish you luck with it in the future.

I don't know if this is cheating, but I queried Ms. Rutter back in May and never got a reply. Was taking part in DVPIT on twitter and got a like from her. On her profile she said to send a full copy if she did, so I did and marked it as a full request. Fingers crossed.

@KT1525 No, it means she's not taking more so she can get through what she has.

Does this mean anyone who queried before July 11 and hasn't gotten a reply is an automatic rejection?

Come back to update after realizing I had mixed up this query and another; offered feedback on my query and that the story wasn't for her.
