CNR 7/11
FR: 3/27/17
ER: 6/24/17
YA Psych Thriller
Her rejection letter praised my writing, but said she didn't like one of the elements of the book. No R&R was offered, so I can only assume she didn't know how to like it without the element. She was kind, though.
95K Epic fantasy
ER: 6/4/17
Form but a nice one:
Thank you for considering me for representation and for sharing your project with me. I appreciate the opportunity and am always grateful for the chance to consider what someone has poured time, energy, and heart into creating.
Unfortunately, after careful review, I'm passing on this project. Keep in mind, this industry is very subjective and, as such, I would encourage you to continue submitting in the hopes of finding the right agent for you.
ER 6/2/17 (Passed---no reason why.)
ER: 5/10 form
82k Women's Fic. Not seeming to be what she's interested in here, but her bio says she's looking for it. So we'll see...
EQ: 5/9
ER: 5/9 within the hour (can't accept the submission now, because a colleague is reading my PB first) I'll requery later, when I hear back from Natalie Lakosil on the PB.
YA Thriller
EQ: 3/23
Full request 3/2/17
R&R 4/24/17
Very nice note with details on what she liked and what she'd like different. She said she'd be happy to see an R&R if I decided to do one, and gave me suggestions about the sorts of things she'd want to see. She sounds lovely to work with, so I'll have to consider it.
FR: 3/9/17
ER: 4/19/17
4/6/17: FR for this novel and a few PBs
MG magical realism
FR: March 30, 2017 one hour later
April 13, 2017: She emailed and asked to set up a meeting to chat. EEK!
YA Historical fantasy
Nudge w/offer of rep: 5th April
FR: 5th April
Very nice and kind step aside on 9th April - she seems like she's great to work with, and I really appreciated her quick response, but I'm happy with my other offer! :)
ER: April 6--I'd totally thought this would be a CNR.
So yeah, 38 days from query to reject. Personalized. Nothing like the forms below--said she liked the setting. So I guess it was worth the wait? lol
YA fantasy.
