@christinaferko No auto confirmation for me, and I got a full request so I know she read it. Hopefully you get a reply from her shortly. (Cause whoa she's fast.)

Oh and I suppose if it helps for gathering intelligence-wise:
Personalized query referencing editor she just worked with who liked us during the LGBTNPit event sent 5/25/22
Full request 5/26/22, sent 5/27

Full MS request: 5/24/22
Personalized rejection: 6/16/22

This was the kindest, most encouraging rejection I have ever received. It's so rare these days to find someone who gives personal feedback. She invited me to submit future projects and asked about any other books I'm working on, and I'm definitely going to submit to her again in the future.

Full MS request: 6/14/22 (sent an hour later — she sent confirmation of receipt)

***Note: I queried Claire in December 2020 and received a full request. She ended up passing on my work but sent personalized feedback and asked that I send her future work. I mentioned this in my latest query.

Does anyone know if Ms. Friedman's submission email sends out an auto-confirmation when querying? I haven't gotten one and just wanted to check. Thanks!
