Query: 10/6
Full request by assistant: 10/7
Very warm full rejection after offer nudge: 10/23 (Looks like she sends out a couple of full rejections today)
Upmarket speculative (93k)
Like the other commenter, I didn't expect a response from Claudia since she never confirmed the receipt of the full, but her full rejection is SO warming, saying that she likes it but doesn't love it enough to be the cheerleader so will step aside since I already have an offer, which is understandable. She said she will look forward to see where the book lands! I really appreciate this.
