Rejection after 301 days. A new record. I'd CNRed long ago.

05/26: Been 37 days, going to presume rejection judging by the speed at which others are saying they've had a response (within a day or so). Can't say for sure if it's because I've queried from another country, obviously, as no response, but it COULD have been a factor. (My inability to write a decent synopsis could also be a reason.)

Edit 06/25/2024: Still no response, though I see as of yesterday, now closed for submissions. Submission sitting on 67 days now - admittedly about a month quicker than some agents who might respond.


Edit 07/31: WOOHOO, we've now reached the centenary (in days) of no response. I'm going to presume now that Lane is NOT going to respond at any point. However, as is evident, my experience is largely not experienced. It would be nice to know if I've been ignored because I'm in a different country, but as it stand it's either a weak submission OR just never bothered looking at mine to decide it's a weak submission.

Edit 02/23 Finally got rejection, which is totally fine with me, so Ms Clark's definitely responding to all. Total time taken: 307 days.

Received a submission reply on full after 330 days. She apologized for how long she held onto it and noted maternity leave put her behind, so it looks like starting to clear out her inbox.
