Queried April 13, 2026 - standalone LGBTQIA+ adult fantasy, 103k
Partial request April 20, 2026; submission sent same day
Noticed that QM autotracked this partial as a full, so switched it over to partial manually. Check how QM is tracking your subs, friends! QM’s reporting on Allegra’s request rate will be skewed, otherwise. Let’s give the system good data to work with

90K M/M Adult Romance
Got the Premise rejection, but stating personally that they are indeed building a romance list but their taste is more in the Romcom direction.

Super kind variation on the form rejection for "premise" that showed appreciation for the way I personalized the query, plus clarification that in this case it was the opening pages and I'd be welcome to re-query them with the same project if I end up doing a revision that substantially changes the opening pages.
I really appreciate the quick response, the kindness, and the clarity!
