Nice decline on 10/24/22 basically saying she thought it sounded more YA than MG and I could resubmit if I upped the age of the characters
Upper Middle Grade Magical Realism 59K

Like the others mentioned here, I got a rejection with resources at the bottom. So if you got this, don't take it as a sign that you can't write a query or your pages need work -- it's just something she seems to add to every reject.

"I'm sorry to say that the project isn't a good match for me or my purpose for opening to marginalized writers at this time. If I’m incorrect on the latter, I apologize." She judged me on something and admitted she didn't know if she was correct or not. And from what I read, she is incorrect. The standard 'no thanks' would have been sufficient - ha! But dang, she seems to watch QueryTracker like a hawk.

Per Caitlin's Twitter open for queries "for the last two weeks in August ONLY for writers traditionally marginalized from publishing, including (but not limited to), BIPOC and LGBTQ+ writers and those with a chronic illness or disability."
