Contemporary Espionage/Thriller 72K
4/29: I met Ms. Bradford at the Books Alive 2017 conference and had a nice conversation during our pitch session. Although sources don't mention her wanting Sci-Fi, she told me she was open to the genre and invited me to send my Partial MS and synopsis.
4/30: Sent my submission materials via email. Fingers crossed!
4/30 (Few hours later): Received a short response from Ms. Bradford thanking me for the submission. This acknowledgement was unexpected, but very much appreciated. :)
5/15: Very kind, personal rejection. Oh well. :( That's just how it goes sometimes...
