"Thank you for sending your manuscript XX and thank you for your patience as I considered it. Unfortunately, I did not fall in love with this story as much as I hoped. I must regretfully decline this opportunity to take on your representation. While I was excited by the premise of this manuscript, I didn’t connect with the voice. Again, thank you, and I wish you the best of luck as you continue to write."

Hi All
Just to clarify: ICM was acquired by CAA, none of the agents "switched" agencies. They are just slowly shifting their emails to a CAA address. If you've sent a full and need to follow up, you can simply include both ICM and CAA addresses to be safe. This is a similar situation to Fletcher & Co, they were acquired by UTA and both Fletcher & Co emails and UTA emails will work for the time-being. Hope that helps and good luck!

In that case, Berkvase, she is probably still looking at it. Good luck.

@Patrick yes when she requested my manuscript she was with ICM and she provided both her ICM and her CAA email address and I sent it to both emails just to be safe.

@Berkvase, Alexandra is no longer with this agency. She has moved to Creative Artists Agency. Hopefully she took her submissions with her.

I see that this agent is currently closed to unsolicited queries. She requested my full back in December, and I sent it immediately. Since I haven't heard anything and she is now closed, should I consider this a "No"? Or is she (hopefully) catching up on her backlog?

@piperp I would also like to know this, because I have a full out for a different project with CAA and I had to sign a waiver thing to sub a full to them

So the big question for everyone with fulls out, is that are they still being considered?
