Nudged with offer of rep on 6/22. Kind rejection/step aside the same day. Appreciate her quick response!
PR (first fifty pages, sent same day): 8/25/21
ER: 9/21/21 (personally likes the story/characters, genre is in demand, but too short [publishers want 80k-90k]--will reconsider if I add ~15k)
Update: Submitted revised full (~82k words) on 1/10/22
Nudged on 4/20/22
Received response on 4/29/22 indicating that manuscript was still under consideration and to expect a response by the end of June--if no response, encouraged to nudge again
Similar to cwbuecheler, since Ms. Tibbets had expressed interest in reading the revision, I contacted her on Twitter and asked if she would be interested in reviewing the manuscript despite being currently closed to queries. She allowed it and gave a tentative timetable of at least three months.
Adult horror at 68k words.
Dark Fantasy, 96k
Anne's currently closed to queries but she's requested two previous fulls and we've communicated quite a bit since then, so I asked if she'd be interested in taking a look and she said yes.
Form Rejection: 11/29/2021
Sci-Fi 83K
Personalised rejection: 30 November.
Fantasy 77k.
Rejection: 11/29 With a nice letter. "Thank you for the query. Unfortunately, I did not creatively connect with the concept of this particular submission and I'm going to pass. Of course, other /agents may feel differently. I wish you the best of luck in your search for representation.
Best Regards,"
"ANNE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO QUERIES
Please check back in June of 2022."
Form Letter Rejection
Thank you for the query. Unfortunately, I am not seeking IP work-for-hire manuscripts at this time and I'm going to pass. Of course, other agents may feel differently. I wish you the best of luck in your search for representation.
Best Regards,
