ER: 11/11

I appreciate a response no matter how long it takes, but the email was clearly sent to multiple authors at once (undisclosed recipients & I was bcc'd), which is frustrating, to say the least

Rejected 48K MG adventure a month after I moved it to "closed, no response". At least she actually acknowledged receipt and sent a no. Be patient, they come sometimes way, WAY after you've already moved on.

Sent me the same rejection again on Oct. 4. Apparently she doesn't do a good job of keeping up with her rejections.

Upper MG 48K, Contemporary sports w/female protagonist.

I was encouraged by her HMLA bio: "she is looking for projects in middle grade and young adult in the areas of ...contemporary fiction, sports..."

As HairyBaby noted below, there were other undisclosed recipients and I wasn't addressed by name (it directly jumped to the body of the email). Looks like she sent out a mass form rejection. Of course, writers can't mass-email, but agents surely can!
Won't be querying her again.

Somebody got a full request on March 28th, so I'm not sure Mander_Pander's info is correct. (Granted, she only has one requested listed in the past 12 months, so the Nov. 2017 one may have been the last until after Mander_Pander posted.)
