Joyce first reached out in February 2021 asking for a full after my query. I followed up a few times throughout the year to see how it was going and was met with warm, encouraging responses. In October 2022, they asked me for a few changes to my manuscript(commonly called a Revise and Resubmit). I agreed and began to revise with them in mind. In December of that same year, I submitted them to Joyce. They got back to me on Valentine's Day 2023 to schedule a virtual meeting for the following Monday. On Feb 20, 2023, an offer was made. I accepted, after some time to consider, the next Friday. I highly recommend submitting to them if queries are open. It was nerve-wracking but so helpful to know a kind person was on the other end, whether it lead to an offer or not.

I submitted a query on September 6 and got a champagne rejection on September 7. At that point, the agency website did not say anything about being closed and that is what I relied on.

@Sandbeck, she says she is closed to queries on her twitter page. Unfortunately, some agents will only announce it there.
