Yeah, that must be a form reply for fulls. I got the exact same email. Oh well.

FR: 1/31/18, sent same day (subject line had "SPAM" in it, so I'm wondering if this got sent to her spam folder, then retrieved?)
6/11/18: sent nudge, no response.
7/26/18: Rena belatedly liked my #Pit2Pub pitch for a different ms (39k MG fantasy). I asked if I should send her a query (reminding her she still has my full of this ms) and she said she'd like to see both!
EQ 7/26/18 #Pit2Pub request. 39k MG contemporary fantasy. Now Rena has one full adult MS and one MG query from me.

7/30/18 - PR. I suspect it may be a form. " a great voice here, and I really liked the concept, but in the end, I just didn’t fall enough in love to be able to offer representation."

Very nice pass - said I have a great voice and concept, just not right for her. It's always nice to get validation. Glad I queried her!

Does anyone know if she confirms receipt for #Pitmad requests?

I'm an intern at a NYC lit agency and I'm a querying writer. Writers: have patience when nudging. A reasonably time to nudge on a partial/full is three months. It's good to note that agents have something like 10 full manuscripts pending at any time (AT LEAST), so the sheer volume does take some time to read through. (Imagine your own "To Be Read" list on your bookshelf; that's the agent's list, along with their own client's manuscripts, along with other materials, along with living their life!) It's really hard, but be patient! Nudging after a month is only going to irritate the agent, which, in turn, makes them think, "They're already impatient during the querying process, so what will they be like as a client during submissions?" I know how it feels to wait, but please just be patient!

Jen, a lot of us have been waiting for responses on our full MSs for months (looks like there are still people here who have been waiting since December; she's had mine since May). It does seem like she responds more promptly to queries, but the first time I queried her a few years ago, heard nothing, nudged three months later, heard nothing... and then got a full request 2 months after that! I think I'd wait another month or two before checking in.

EQ: 6/8

Update 7/25: Wondering if I should send a nudge on this one? It feels like a lot of #PitMad requests (and queries after) have been responded to by now and I've heard zip. What's typical procedure on this?

Thriller. No acknowledgment, no reply. Signed with another agent.
