ER: Semi-personalised, kindly-worded rejection (in a few hours)
Nudge: 10/6/21
ER: 10/6/21, about an hour after I sent the nudge. Short note saying it was not for him.
EQ 9/21
ER 9/22
Said it sounded too dark for his taste, but thanked me for sharing and wished me luck.
ER: 27 Aug 2021, Friday
PB around 600 words, Alzheimer's
Wow that was a very fast No. Received within 9 minutes. At least he's quick to respond.
8/1/21: CNR
Received a less-than-one-hour response - while he may have read the MS, he did not look at portfolio and dummy, as he questioned how it could be a 32-page book.
EQ: 5/24/21
Received a quick response with great feedback.
On 5/17 he emailed me early am stating what he liked in my picture book manuscript (and about my writing) but also pointed out what he'd like to see changed in it. Then he asked for additional manuscripts.
5/18: I emailed him the additional manuscripts + a revision of the manuscript he provided me with feedback for.
Nudged once or twice and he never responded.
-Email the next morning with positive comments and requesting to see other PBs.
-He gave positive feedback on the two subsequent PB manuscripts (with the suggestion to make one of them a short chapter book) and said he needs to think about it.
I greatly appreciate his feedback but I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I see from other comments that this by no way guarantees an offer of representation.
