@Faegheh I'm not patrick, but on desktop you should be able to hit Query status beneath the "active project" dropdown to the right of the screen. If there's a checkmark I don't think you can do anything, but if not, clicking on it pops open a screen saying when it was CNRd. Hit edit, and it should let you change the dropdown to None Yet. You'll also want to make sure the auto close box at the bottom is unchecked. Good luck!

@Patrick hi there, Alex requested my full back in march and I uploaded the file (received confirmation email). I haven't heard back from her yet but now query tracker is telling me it's CNR. Is it possible to fix it or no need to worry about it?

@Anne_Natalie I'm in same boat as you guys, with very similar timings I think. I'm just waiting it out now as I think she'd be a great
fit for my next (more commercial, more tightly plotted) MS, but it's not ready to query yet.

Q: 12/14
Full req/sent: 3/12
Sci-Fi/LGBT 103K
I'd nearly shelved the project when the full request came through :) Fingers crossed for April!
Edit: It's a little disheartening checking the query timeline and seeing the brand new queries from this last month, a lot of which are getting responses right away. I'm assuming there's a pitch or referral event going on since she's currently closed to new queries. Hopefully we hear back soon!

@BBMorgan16 The wait is definitely hard. I queried Alex on June 6 last year and she has had my full since June 12 so I get it, but you just can’t let yourself think that way. Let go of the other feelings, but hold on to the hope. And be happy when you see the announcements! They’ll hopefully be our agent siblings after all!
