Requested Proposal: 3/6/2019.
10/27/18 No response. I sent another email requesting to resubmit because my manuscript has undergone substantial edits.
EQ: August 22
Really excited about this one! I'm pretty confident in my synopsis so hopefully I can see a FR with this one!
ER: August 27. I'm pretty disappointed but there's still lots of agents out there so!!
FULL REQUEST- 6/28/18
FULL SENT
PERSONALIZED rejection email- 7/17 (there’s much to be admired about your writing (and the exciting, original concept!), this one isn’t quite right for my list.
I followed up with a thank you note and she replied with encouraging email suggesting that I not take rejections personally. (You are a very strong writer.)

Nudged when received another offer
Offered Rep on 8/8
Talked to her on phone. Really great conversation. She's knowledgeable and passionate and although just getting into agenting (which was why I went another direction), she knows the business from the writer's perspective (she's a published author). If I didn't have my options I have (multiple offers), I would have felt comfortable accepting rep. I'd recommend (and I've been through this before & have dealt with a bunch of good agents).
ER: 5/15/17
Sweet personalized rejection.

ER: 4/24/17 - Personalized form. She complimented my writing and praised the unique concept, but it wasn't right for her list. She seems really nice.

Requested full book proposal just a few hours later.
Sent December 2
ER 01/19/2017 Very kind and encouraging letter complimenting my writing but saying it wasn't right for her list.
CNR 1/8/2017 per the 6 weeks stated on the website
Update: she got back to me a few hours after I did this comment! Nice, slightly personalized rejection telling me it was a sweet picturebook but she takes very few of these and it wasn't quite right for her. She seems very kind and I appreciate the extra words.
FR : 12/7/16
sent: 12/8/16
ER: 12/22/16 KInd letter saying she enjoyed it but it wasnt' right for her list. (angie9091, the long wait might be a good thing ;-) She seems really interested in nonfiction!)
