***UPDATE: I reached out to Lori through QM to inquire about the no response and she said since this was a repeat submission it was automatically flagged and arrived in QM. Even though it’s been over a year and mentioned revisions in my query. It’s the same title so I’m guessing that’s why it was flagged. Note moving forward: change your ms title. Revisions aren’t enough.

Has anyone had troubles getting updates from Lori? I just checked my QM link and it says my query was rejected on Nov 7,2022 but I NEVER received a letter. And the rejection letter wasn't uploaded in QM like it normally is. I'm upset that I've had false hope of being on her maybe list this whole time. Has this happened to anyone else?

I just checked QT because I'm also still waiting to hear back, but it says no decision has been made. Sorry to hear that happened to you!
