UPDATE: Got form rejection today (16th April), so she's catching up.

This is the auto-response I got (I assume she will catch up with queries once she gets back to work)

From Friday 29th March through to Monday 1st April: RML will be closed for the Easter break and no one will be checking, responding or dealing with any form of communication. The Publishing Industry will also be closed in the UK for this period of time.

From Tuesday 2nd through Friday 5th April: I will be on holiday and not checking, responding or dealing with any form of communication. For anything urgent, please contact Charlotte Bowerman on charlotte@rmliterary.co.uk

Monday 8th - Thursday 11th April: I will be working truncated hours due to the school holidays. I will be available within a short space of time during these days.

Friday 12th April: I will be off on holiday

Normal business will resume from me from the 15th April onwards.

This is not negotiable and I thank you in advance for respecting the above.

Nelle was very prompt and professional throughout the whole process and took time to provide me with a kind and detailed rejection on my full. She seems like a wonderful agent!
