CNR. This agent's timeline indicates they don't respond unless it's a request. Did not respond to nudge of full requests either.

Like everyone else, as I received full requests I sent updates notifiying Catherine of these. Not to be annoying but just following agency guidelines. On the notification of my third full request she finally declined with a lovely form letter. Happy to close the query out.

I thought this was so evocative, and I really love the idea of two xxx having to work together. I'd love to read the full MS.
Best wishes,
Catherine

Both she and Katie Greenstreet seem like dream agents. Do any of you know if its a no from one is a no from all?
It seems like it since it all goes to one email, but I couldnt find a place where this was explicitly clear.

I nudged a few days after sending my full because I hadn't gotten an auto reply and she confirmed that she got it. That was in late September.

Did you get an autoreply?

@rayarriz I’ve nudged twice for two separate full requests and only included the title of my manuscript. I also haven’t heard back.

I nudged her with a full request update, with only one line about it in a reply to my original email. Haven't heard anything. Should I have nudged with the query in the email?

@LStein — I let Catherine know when I had received fulls and she was so warm and kind—requested mine, gave it a close read, kind rejection. All to say I think she would be very receptive if you just send a follow-up politely saying you neglected to mention you have had a couple of full requests.

I just queried and then it occurred to me that maybe I should have mentioned that I have two fulls out right now. Or does she only want to be notified if I get a new full request after querying her?

I keep Ms. Cho's e-mail in my inbox because it gave me a jolt of hope at the start of my querying process. Although she didn't take on my project, her feedback was thoughtful and considerate. Highly recommend.
