Contemporary Romance 75K
ER: 3/7
Personalized (and yet form) rejection with a generic and subjective reason for passing that's also complete opposite to what other agents have said, yet encouraging on me to keep on querying and try her again one day. Jen is awesome, though! One of the nicest and most caring agents I've ever met, classy, professional, and pretty cool. No regrets!
1/16/18: Emailed asking if I could send updated query after completing R&R from another agent
ER: 2/5/18
PR: 2/12/18
I'm assuming she rejected the initial query then later saw my email asking if I could re-send and went based on that? Either way, so happy!
CNR: 12/19/17
101K upmarket Women's Fiction
She usually responds with rejections, but it's been 2 months so I'm going to close this one out (and she said she's current through 10/20...so I'm just going to assume this one is a no-go unless I hear otherwise).
Update: Surprise PR on 1/17! First 50pg sent same day. If you're still waiting to hear from Jennifer, take heart...she's catching up on a backlog of queries.
(Thanks LightofBeauty)
"Catching up on my queries. I am current through 10/20. If you haven’t heard from me, that means I’m still considering your query. Bit behind schedule, so please be patient."
Update: I sent my EQ on 10/18. As of 12/11, I still haven't heard anything. So I guess that means I'm still in the running? I wasn't quite sure how to interpret this, given the dates. It seems like under her new agency she does try to respond to all...I guess I'll just sit tight a little longer.
