A pleasant surprise! I'd forgotten this query.

29 April - personalized rejection.

Have asked me whether they'll be the only agent looking at the MS. Will need to inform them I have 3 fulls out, hopefully that won't put them off.
CNR 10/10/18
Well, I accidentally forgot to send the synopsis with the initial email, but I sent it in an apologetic reply on the same day, so I wonder if that hurt my chances. Though, this is about the fifth CNR I've done today, so it might have just been my query. I've since revised and am hopeful to get at least personal rejections in the next responses from people! Good luck to everyone else!
ER: 7/11 "not quite the right fit for the agency."
CNR 1/24/17 (No word from nudge.) Will try Maria with DI in two weeks.
Update: 6/20/17 ER (Passed-not a good fit.) I'll retry Maria with DI later this summer, since Elizabeth's closed for submissions for good now.
