EQ: 6/9/18
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 - Final nudge

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.

Nothing on the website says she's closed anymore, so we'll see how this goes!

For those of you who have or had a partial/full with her, did she confirm receipt of the material or not? Thanks.
