Agent requested full manuscript after my response to her Twitter post.

Very kind and positive rejection of historical mystery after 158 days, with apology for taking so long. A few months ago she posted that she had Covid, so I'm sure that slowed her down considerably. It feels much better to have a reply, even a rejection, and even after all this time, than to wonder what happened. Many thanks to her.

Sadly, I’d marked this as a CNR and already signed a publishing contract.

11.15.2022 She responded almost immediately and asked me to withdraw then resubmit with the most up to date information. She said she doesn't read submissions in order, but instead sorts by genre, so I don't need to worry about losing my place in the queue. I did resubmit with the updated information

"While I really liked the premise of your manuscript I'm sorry to say it's not a good fit for my list at this time."

QM Message: Dear Author,

Yes, you! You're no longer an "aspiring author" or "aspiring writer" if you're at the querying phase! Congratulations!

I deeply appreciate you looking me up and considering me for your manuscript. Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say I'm currently closed to queries, but I hope to open again soon once I've weeded through the submissions currently in my inbox. If you've recently submitted to me and have not received a response, please note that I'm perpetually behind but I always respond to every query.

For information related to when I plan to reopen, please follow me on Twitter (@C_H_Armstrong). I will announce my reopening to queries about a week in advance, and usually try to stay open for a very short period of time.

Thanks, and I look forward to your query when I reopen for submissions.

Best Wishes,

Cathie Hedrick-Armstrong, Literary Agent

(IMHO, this agent has asked for way too many fulls on one go that finds it 'difficult' to juggle.)
