90K Adult contemporary romance
Full request: 16th May, 2022
Nudged with offer of rep: 24th June, 2022
Romcom, 88k words
Sent a nudge on Friday (13th May) to let Catherine know that I'd received a full request elsewhere, and she responded on the Monday with some positive feedback and a full request. Sending the nudge was a bit of a stab in the dark (the marjacq website doesn't explicitly advise doing this), so it was a nice surprise & shows there's never any harm in nudges!
Sent a nudge to Catherine on June 24th to let her know that I've received an offer of rep elsewhere.

Nudged with offer: 05/24/22
Reply: She will read by my deadline.
Nudged again since the deadline is tomorrow: 06/06/22
Reply: She forwarded my full to Diana Beaumont who will hopefully respond by the deadline.

Dear Mandy,
Thank you for your patience and sorry for the time it's taken me to come back to you.
I really enjoyed reading WALKING UP HILLS BACKWARDS. I think you write very well and your characters are great.
There problem is, the story, feels overly familiar, very John Green The Fault in our Stars which I am afraid will prevent it being picked up by editors who are looking for fresh, new, imaginative stories which will really stand out in the crowd.
Should you bring your writing talents together with a really great YA story, I think you would have something that editors would pay attention to.
I wish you all the very best with your writing.
Yours,
Catherine
FR: 02/10/2017:
