@sara_gilbert_writes I queried the agency submission email 76 days ago and haven't got a response, so maybe try her personal? (Please report back if you do and you get a response)

can someone tell me which email to send my query to? lol. i saw one or two things saying her personal email (that she likes to manage her own queries), and others saying to send to the agency submission email. I dont know which one to follow and i'd rather not get on anyone's bad side lol

She's FAST! and a Valentine's Day rejection.
She's blunt:
Thank for your query. I’m afraid this isn’t for me.
Good luck,
Catherine

"Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. I'm afraid I'm a bit swamped at the moment so will have to pass."

Really would have preferred a form rejection to that nothing sandwich.

Polite rejection stating she is “super busy at the moment and not taking on anymore clients”
from SugarMagnolia
Yesterday 8:47 am


@lindsaysmith818, InkWell's website says all queries should go to the submissions email. (Most agents who utilize a general email like this don't like to also receive queries on their personal emails.) Additionally, the website says you will hear from them in two months if they want to see more; otherwise, you won't hear from them. Good luck!

According to the QT stats, Catherine usually responds within two days if she's interested. So I'm going to go ahead and close this one out... Best of luck to everyone still being considered!
