Queried for a PB on 2/14/25 followed up on 5/8/25 - still no response, Closing query. Honestly a form letter that looks like a form letter, even if a one liner, is better than no response. Unless you are told in the submission guidelines, it's a pass if you don't hear by a certain time. That I can respect.

As form rejections go, this is a nice one.
“Thank you for thinking of me. Your novel sounds delightful, but I'm so sorry to say that since I work a bit less in the MG space than I do with picture and graphic books, I find myself a bit more selective with novels. Wishing you all the best with your query.”
(in case you're wondering, there was the full range of MG categories listed for her when I queried her so no, I didn’t send it to someone who doesn’t do MG ;) )
