FR: 6/11/18 - Sent same day.
Revisions: 7/6/18 - Shortly after sending the first full, I received editorial feedback that required revisions. I sent an e-mail requesting to send the updated version (and noting what had been changed), understanding that if they'd decided to pass that there was no need.
Revisions Request: 7/9/18 - Received notice to please send the updated manuscript. Sent same day.
8/15/18 - Rejection w/ invitation to resubmit if changes are made:
Lucy seems very polite and knowledgeable, and she made some great observations I hadn't before considered--especially with adding a new POV that I deleted from the first manuscript. (She read both! I'm surprised and delighted.) She's invited me to resubmit if I revise with those changes in mind.
11/14/18 - Sent the revised manuscript. Got an email thanking me.
3/11/19 - Nudge
4/16/19 - She got back to me, says she hasn't looked at it yet but will read in the next few weeks. She seems to have a lot on her plate. Very grateful for the update.
9/6/19 - Nudge & notice of another update after more feedback
10/4/19 - Lucy wrote back, says she's been swamped this year and behind on her reading. Just as a note to anyone else who may be wondering, it sounds like 2019 has been an insane year for her and many others in the industry.

Notification of receipt today. I think this is because I queried her with a different MS last year and she wanted to see my next ms which I’m now querying. Sent the first 20 in the body of the email when I initially queried.
4/9/18: Got email telling me to query @ submissions@kwlit.com, NOT lucy@kwlit.com
5/7/18: Got email asking if this was "#OwnVoices Material". Replied it is not. Haven't heard a peep. CNR
