10/26/20 "not the right fit" email.

Did she close to queries and I missed it? I queried on 3/22 and it looks like her last response to a query was 3/18. Just curious if I should close this out or resubmit later.

I queried Lauren on September 4th and haven't heard anything. I see where some people have received rejections. Should I nudge?

Nudge with offer of rep- Lauren responded quickly and personally asking for the full manuscript to read before my deadline to the other agent.

Update: Accepted another agent's offer but she did get back to me and said she didn't have time to read my book before my deadline and wished me luck and congratulations on my offer.

WF 95k Points for getting back to me at all (some don't). It was a "Dear Author" email (when I think of the time I put into personalizing the query, I now wish I had addressed it "Dear Agent"). But hey, she did let me know, so, y'know, thanks for that.

YA Fantasy 95K, "dear author" response... I understand she's very busy but it still hurts a little. :(

ER 10/26/20 "Dear author..." Ouch. I think I'd rather get no response than that.

@gellisbarber: you actually are allowed to resubmit the same project after making revisions! so if you do find that your query/sample doesn't work and you decide to rewrite and your changes are significant, you can submit again. You're just not supposed to send the exact same submission package to more than one of their agents.

From their website: "If you’ve genuinely made it substantially different (and, one hopes, better) then we don’t at all mind if you come back to us and offer it again. Just be up front about it when you do, and if we think that a re-read might be to our and your benefit, we’ll be happy to do so."

FYI Dystel Goderich & Bourret does not allow you to query another agent at the agency after you have been rejected by one of them. A rejection by one is a rejection by all. I recommend waiting to query them until you 100% sure you have a winning query letter and a solid submission and then sending to your top pick, because you only shot with them.
