Helpful Rejection: 3/3/25
Useful tips about word count and editing based on the current market. She suggested I could reach out again if I got the page count below 200. Thanks for that, Taj!

Offered revised manuscript: 8/30/2024
Sent revised manuscript after an R&R from another agent: 9/1/2024
was offered another R&R. Verified it was okay to update the file. New file uploaded 2/6/2025
nudged with offer: 2/21/2025 (and asked what I should do since it looks like Taj's is at LDLA now and I have a query out with someone at LDLA already...)
2/24/25: polite step aside to let the other agent have it, but the other agent said TAJ could have it, so Taj has it again XD
2/25/25: polite step aside for real this time, won't be able to make the deadline
