Thanks for the clarification @SadieR, it might be worth sending a personal email explaining the previous full request and the revisions you have made to your MS. Then ask if she would like to see it again through email or QM. The worst she can say is no!

@thulsa_doom, thanks for the note! I misspoke. She uses QueryManager and I don't think I can reply in there now that I've been rejected. Everything is done through the form. Although, if I'm wrong, please let me know!

Hey @SadieR, just click on the red smiley face in your query list, and when the date comes up, you can change it using the EDIT button.

If you are re-starting from a query you can also put "none yet".

Rejection on a full. Liked the premise and voice, but thought that I wasn't conveying internal world of MC well enough and stakes fizzled. These are the issues I've been addressing during revisions with an editor. I had hoped to reply and ask if she was interested in seeing revisions but no way to do so once your query has been rejected in QT.
