@CeCeWrites I queried in October and haven't gotten a response yet. Her timeline shows she's very behind, so I wouldn't worry too much as she's not responded to most November queries

Has anyone who queried her in Nov. got a reply? (request or rejection?)

Hi, everyone! Did you send the query to info@jillgrinbergliterary.com (as the website says) or larissa@jillgrinbergliterary.com (as QT suggests)?

EDIT: Np, Patrick; glad we got it sorted!

EQ - 21/12/2022. Query and first 50 pages of MS.

Did anyone receive an auto-reply to say it has been received?

12/20/22 - Form Rejection with a touch of personalization

It was a very kind rejection letter with added personalization, which I very much appreciate since it was only a query response. She seems like a lovely person to work with. :)

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and consider _____ I’m sorry to say that I'm going to have to pass up the opportunity to represent it, as I just didn't quite connect with the material on that “have-to-have-it" heart and gut level you’d ideally want your agent to have.

However, I appreciate you sharing your work with me, as the querying process can be quite a challenge. I wish you the very best in finding a good home for it.

rejected with "heart and gut level": 12/13/22

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to read and consider _____ in full. I found so much to love about the book, especially your lyricism and world-building, but I’m sorry to say that I’ve made the difficult decision to step aside, as I ultimately didn’t feel the requisite heart-and-gut-level connection and passion for the book that your work deserves and that you’d want your agent to have.

With that said, please know that this was a difficult call for me, as your work carries tremendous merit. I’m grateful that you chose to submit to me and put yourself out there, as the querying process can be quite a challenge. I hope you will persist in your search for a good home for your work.

Fiction submission rejected.
