Query: 10/3/2025
Nudge: 01/07/2026
Rejection: 04/15/2026
Very sweet (and personalized!) rejection on Upmarket fiction manuscript after 6 months. Hailey was one of the first agents I queried, and one of the first I nudged (because she said to nudge, not because I had an offer of rep). Would query her again!...but would expect a similar wait time.
Folks new to the query trenches: in 2025-2026, a wait time of over 100 days is NORMAL now. Don't set a CNR date before then.
