87K mystery. This was a referral, and a request for full pages. Lily sent a very flattering rejection, which will be helpful as I consider whether to revise again.

Thank you so much for sending me the manuscript for . I appreciate the opportunity to consider. You've clearly put a great deal of thought and time into your writing. I'm sorry to say, though, that the material does not seem to be a fit for my list at this time, and so I must pass.
I wish you all the best of luck in finding other representation!
Best,
Lily

@eywriterr, I've been told by another author who queried her to send it as an attachment.

Should the first 50 pages be an attachment or pasted in the email

very sweet email back saying she is reading and is interested.
Oct 2022= Emailed praise and arranged a phone call for next week.
OCT 22= offered representation. Had a lovely, long 60 minute conversation on zoom. She is terrific!
I ended up getting 5 offers of representation, and got lucky with 2 agents (US and UK) and I will happily help anyone by answering questions. I know the process is long and tedious. You can inbox me for support.

I guess she only responds to full manuscripts when she's actually reading it and/or interested in offering rep???

I had a wonderful conversation with Lily, and she seems like a great agent to work with. I've been impressed with everything so far, and I highly recommend her.

I queried her on August 10th and got a full request on August 22nd. I see one other person in the comments that got a full request, and, as far as I can tell, no one has received an official rejection.

Like the other big talent agencies, one can't find any information on their web site about who the agents are, how to submit, or what they are looking for. However, it looks like Lily has the information on the manuscript wishlist link. Just adding this comment to help other authors speed the search to find this info! :)
