Advised he would get in touch in the coming weeks
Third nudge
8th July
22 July no reply
It is now 03/08/2026 - and no reply from the last nudge - after such a positive few interactions which looked hopeful I am balancing between - is he just busy or am I being ghosted - I just dont know and its killing - sometime a bugger off your book is crap is better than nothing
FInal nudge sent - 05/08/2026 - will wait till month end then finally for my sanity mark as CNR
24 August 2026 -final pass after 7 months - I'm emotionally drained and exhausted and he passed despite saying :
" Thank you for the nudges - and apologies for the late response, I'd been so slammed with projects over the summer. I did eventually get around to reading THE FRAGILE THREAD. I really connected with Laney and enjoyed much of the sharp, controlled writing styleYou're a talented writer, so I hope you're able to find a home for this in the future, and feel free to keep me in mind for any future queries."
Not sure whether I would have prefered a form rejection in January

Queried 7/7/26, 94K adult thriller.
Full Request 8/14/26, sent as docx attachment 8/17/26.
I'm sure nothing will come of it, but I was considering retiring this book from the query trenches but maybe I'll hold off a bit.
