Seems like a big chunk on her timeline got rejected via no response? — bummer! Was hoping to hear back from her. She’s seems so great!

@manyan. I don't know. She seems to have rejected a whole bunch fast! And one thing I've noticed is that sometimes they read the queries they are interested in first, and these are the only ones they reject - sometimes. The rest may not even hear back at all.

q 11/5 YA contemp
r 11/6, form rejection, "your project is not a fit for my list right now, but I wish you all the best in your publishing endeavors."
Given that I wasn't expecting to hear from her for weeks, YA contemp/coming-of-age must *really* not be a fit.
