R: 11/20/25 (<3 hours after submission)
She mentions on the submission notes that she isn't looking for second world fantasy but that grounded fantasy was okay. My manuscript is a grounded fantasy, but my comps are second world. I received the following rejection email:
Thank you for querying me. Unfortunately, I am not looking for YA Fantasy at the moment.
I wish you the best of luck on your writing journey!
Best,
Kiki
