EQ (sorta): 11/8/18 - A few weeks ago, she invited me to send her a different manuscript based on a previous connection (internship), but since that's not quite ready yet, I pitched the mss I'm currently querying other agents with, and she asked for the full.
FR: 11/8/18; sent 11/9
YA Contemporary Fantasy, 86K
Update - sent her slightly revised version 12/15; responded saying she'll continue on with the new version 12/17
12/21/18 - updated to say she's not quite finished, but "loving" it so far and would like to chat in the new year.
Another update - mentioned I was about to query a MG Fantasy (the previous MS) on 2/6, she told me she's still interested and to send it over; call still in the future
