She's requested my work before, so I'm hoping this is finally the right book for her!

Thanks Patrick!

heroich, She likes to keep her queries separate from the agency, so use the cahterine@ address.

When querying Catherine, did you send it the 'submissions' email address, or the 'Catherine' one?

Bit confused as to what to do.

Thanks!

@KristenH That....is freaking hilarious ha ha! At least she got the name of our books right! :)

EQ 3/13/19 (Requery Venom)--Full Request! Full is sent out! Same here Ford!
ER 3/21/19 (Passed from Claire--(can't offer rep and not connecting)--Mander Pander, I got the same rejection from Claire. How weird she sent you the same form on a full that was meant for me. Bad copy/paste fail on her part.

Hi Kristen (my name is not Kristen),
Thank you for the opportunity to consider XXX! Unfortunately, Catherine cannot offer representation at this time. While you’re a fantastic writer, we’re not connecting with the book as much as we would have hoped.
Please feel free to query us again. We wish you the best of luck!
Best,
Claire

Feedback: "Thanks for sending [TITLE]. You write well but I’m concerned that the story isn’t sufficiently original in the crowded fantasy market."
(The thing is, it's not fantasy... you could call it dystopian, spec fic or even sci-fi, but there's not the remotest hint of magic or the supernatural anywhere in it.)

Complimented the writing but said it wasn't for her. Sadness!

Okay, this was a little strange. Nice, but strange. Claire complimented my writing and said that they "didn't connect with the manuscript," but I could submit a new draft of the book. Since the rejection offered no details about what was wrong with it, I asked for clarification. Alas, no response. It's sorta like she offered an R&R...without any guidelines to start the R&R. If I don't know what's wrong with it, how am I supposed to rewrite it? But hey, at least it was quick!
