Well at least it was quick lol

Query submitted 9/29 and rejected within an hour (yikes!)

Also rejected my full after a few months.

Interesting data: On the QueryTracker Timeline, it seems that the authors that Mollie signed in the past 2 years had their materials responded to within about a week. Keep in mind that's only of the authors who reported the data on their submission to QueryTracker, but it hinted to me that I shouldn't get my hopes up while I was waiting to hear back.

The query is sent outside of QM.

Rejected? - 9/19/22 - I just logged into Submittable and saw that my submission was declined 3 days ago. I never got an email or notification. Anyone else experience this?
If you've been skipped in the queue, check submittable and see if yours is still active.

@KennyValentine, Thank you.

My guess would be the high full request rate and rejection is directly related to the fact the submission form doesn't include a writing sample.

@drewcomet I would say go for it anyway. You never know what an agent's response will be. If you check the timeline, someone received an offer of rep not long ago, meaning there is always a chance. I was expecting a query rejection but instead I got a full request. Still waiting to hear back, and sure, it might end up in a form rejection anyway like most others, but it's still always better to take the shot than not. You have nothing to lose. The worst that can happen is you get a no and you move on to query someone else. At least you tried.

Is it worth submitting since they are rejecting most of the full request submissions?

My full was rejected 9/16/2022 (requested in May). Same form rejection as others. I counted 16 full rejections sent today--wouldn't be possible for her to actually read that many in one day, and would be pretty fast skimming. Must have a team going through them--quickly!
