Edit: responded with a form, she liked the premise but not my writing.
I guess I wasn’t worth responding to. That stings for an agent with such a high response rate.

@angelsteele I queried 11/5 and recently nudged and she said she was still considering it but also very busy with multiple responsibilities. So I would imagine yours could still be under consideration. She might have missed your nudge since it was so close to the holidays.

This agent rejected a rhyming PB that I sent but she gave me several pieces of good and actionable advice about my work. I really appreciate ANY feedback that I receive from an agent because I know they are very busy and overwhelmed with submissions. I would definitely send something else to her when she re-opens.

This is a powerful story but it's too similar to another book I already represent and therefore, I have to pass. Due to a full workload, I need to be selective about the work I take on but don’t let this discourage you. Another agent may feel differently and you deserve to have an agent as passionate about your work as you are.
Keep querying! I’m cheering for you.

@JustinJoseph in the most respectful way possible, please be patient. You're posting on almost every agent's page at least once a week. Obsessing over QT timelines is at best a waste of your energy. Agents will reply when they reply, and when other authors receive replies really doesn't influence when you will get one, especially with a relatively new agent.

@JustinJoseph I queried on the 13th and haven't heard anything. She might be a bit behind

Hey Justin, looks like she's bouncing around. Her timeline shows rejections and requests for queries ranging from 10/31 through 11/12. Doesn't appear to be going in order.
