4/18/2021: We understand she's currently closed to queries, but we wanted to give her a chance to read in case we receive an offer a rep from the others who also requested a full at the end of last year, of which she was one.

9/8/2020: Unfortunately, we were directly in the path of Hurricane Sally, so we are still without internet/wifi. We let her know the situation with our technological issues, and she was very understanding. Will update this when I'm able to send out fulls again.

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

Thanks emmaburns

Paused Query: 10/7/20 - sent message asking if I should withdraw and resubmit because I am consulting an editor and will be substantially reworking my project. Response - Thank you for letting me know! Why don't you withdraw this query and requery when you're ready. Good luck!

7/13/20 - Twitter update: A quick query update: I have responded to all QueryManager queries through July 9th.

I still have a few I'm holding over to read again.

I just checked QueryManager and mine is still listed as having no decision. Perhaps She's still holding onto mine. I'll keep it open a bit longer.

Vague rejection letter - personal - saying that she did not connect with my MC (named). How this helps me, I don't know. It would be nice to know why, so if there is a character flaw, I could fix it. This rejection stung as I was assured by others that she would be a great agent for me. Oh well, guess not.

Jana requested a different ms of mine last year and ultimately passed with kind, uplifting feedback. She seems like a delight to work with, so fingers crossed that she falls in love with this story! :)

I'm thrilled to be working with Jana!

I've queried Ms. Hanson with two manuscripts. Both times she responded within 10 days with very kind and specific reasons for why she decided to pass.
