Rejection within 8 hours after query. At least they're fast! It's not addressed from Ali, just from Spencerhill. I wonder what the trick is for getting by the screener.
I love the quick decision. It was also politely worded rejection, similar to what other people have posted.
Rejection: 02/06/22
We're sorry, but your project is not a fit for our agency at this time, so we will have to pass. Thank you for considering us and best of luck with your future queries.
Sincerely,
The Spencerhill team

Mine was the same form rejection, but it was just from the Spencerhill team (not Ali)--so what you received is really good! It means that she has interest in your work even if your current manuscript doesn't fit her list right now. Have hope and good luck!!

Update: I nudged again and nothing. I guess I’ll just withdraw the query on the day of the deadline so I don’t receive a rejection in August lol.
I think it’s a no from one agency since there's a person who reads through all the queries and makes the decisions before they get to the actual agents (I believe).
That being said, I notified Ali of an offer of rep last Tuesday via query manager. My deadline is in less than a week and haven't heard back (not a pass or request and I believe I was in the maybe pile--queried 40 plus days ago). Do I bother nudging or just leave it be?
