She forwarded my query to another agent! Cool that she does that.
Can we have a feature that lets us track when a query is forwarded to another agent? The Query Timeline for the original agent can stop tracking after the query is forwarded, and tracking can "begin" on the other agent's profile with a specific icon for Forwarded queries.

I had an odd interaction with this agent.
- I queried originally May 13, 2025.
- May 14th, I received this message:
"Dear ___,
I'd love to read the full manuscript. Please follow the instructions below to upload it. Thank you!
Best,"
[unsigned]
- I uploaded the full manuscript the same day with a note and a question and had no response.
- July 28th, I uploaded a revised manuscript with a separate note explaining the changes and received no response.
- August 16th, notification of offer of rep, notified as a courtesy because she had previously requested the manuscript, asking her to please make a decision by a specific date.
- August 18th, I received this message:
"Dear ___,
I'd love to read the full manuscript. Please follow the instructions below to upload it. Thank you!
Best,"
[unsigned]
- I responded the same day requesting clarification, if she had a problem with the file, if she were still interested in the manuscript, etc.
- Without a response, I withdrew August 20th, citing my discomfort with her lack of communication.
Ghosting is one thing, but this was unlike my other interactions (and unlike other absences of interactions) I've experienced using this website, so I thought I would mention it.
Update:
- August 21st: Ms. Caldwell sent me a message to which the system will not allow me to reply stating that she saw this post and explaining that she is usually too busy with the agency, her current clients, and her own writing to reply. She writes that the second submission request was an error and a message telling me to disregard it did not send. She wished me well and stated that newer agents at the agency are more actively building their lists. Thank you for clarifying what happened.
