Kelly is super thoughtful and sweet. It's a little disappointing this didn't click for her, but she's absolutely worth querying again in the future.

@mikewyantjr Yep, she said a couple of weeks back that she was moving to a no-response-means-no system from now on, but everyone who queried before 9/1 will still get a response

Received this text as part of the autoresponse form letter and thought it might be helpful:

"Consider this e-mail a confirmation of receipt, and if you do not hear back from me within 3 months, please consider this a pass."

Pitched Kelly at conference; she requested full.

tophersghost056, Kelly's Twitter said, as of 9/9, that she has 73 partials and fulls she hasn't gotten to yet. Her backlog is far bigger than QT indicates and she has to focus on the job she gets paid for (selling the manuscripts) before the job she doesn't get paid for (reading the requests/reading queries). I'd hesitate to say she's not interested given the amount of work she's got to go through.

I'm very sad to CNR my query to her since she requested my materials through #PitMad more than 100 days ago. But it doesn't look like she was THAT interested.

**EDIT** I deleted my comments because I didn't realize they would cause her such grief. I never said she hates cats or was not open to any cat characters; what I said was (poorly worded, as obvi my attempt at levity didn't land well), I have a cat MC and since she's not a cat fan, I'm CNRing. What I perhaps should have also said was, I usually do CNR after 60 days anyway (as do a lot of us). Kelly is a wonderful agent and anyone would be lucky to have her! She no doubt knows who I am, and that we've interacted several times in the past three years. I harbor no malice towards her at all re: my ms OR for not liking cats. So if my ms is (I'm guessing) not her jam? Totes okay. Kelly - my apologies if anyone threw hate your way. FTR, I'm a dog-lover, too!
