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.

Anyone know if Ms. Copps/assistant always confirm receipt of manuscript? I see below that they confirmed with at least a couple people. I sent a PR quite a while ago, but never got confirmation they received it and didn't get a reply to the nudge I sent at the 4 mo mark.

She announced on Twitter today that she's closing to queries for the foreseeable future. I wish she'd given more of a warning, she was on my query list!

8/25 EQ 71k YA fairy tale retelling
11/08 PR from assistant
11/09 Confirmation from assistant that partial was received (The confirmation assuages my anxiety. Very helpful. Sometimes you can't help but worry that the submission got lost!)

6/16/16: EQ
10/19/16: Partial request
1/13/17: Kind pass with little feedback. Enjoyed the humor and liked the quirky trolls, but "ultimately we were unable to immerse ourselves as fully in the storytelling as we needed to in order to move forward." Which is fair enough. I'll keep looking for someone to fall in love with it.
