EQ: 6/23
FR from Ruoxi 6/24

the FR came from a submissions email address, but submissions policy gave a different e-mail for Ms. Cleland. The FR email was a bit vague and gave no last name for the requesting person. I'm unsure if this person is reading on Ms. Cleland's behalf or is interested in building their own list.

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 - 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.
